Today I had Anthony from the Tackle Box out for a day of inshore seabassing. A few last minute cancellation turned this into a one man charter. Anthoney brought along some of the finest tackle that I ever had aboard "Fishguts". Vanstalls and Saragossa's and other fine things. It did not take long to the gear was put to work. A nice safe easy ride down the bay under full electronics and a nice easy slide out the inlet without ever see the monument. Ocean condition were safe and fishable with 10mph out of the S and a tight chop. The first and only stop had a great showing of fish but took a little while to get them chewing. As the seas took there toll on Anthoney he tuffed it out and reached his limit of 25 seabass with the top fish weighing 3.75lbs and 19" in lenght. Many of his other fish were nice 16 inch stuff. He also landed a nice black in the 4lb range. Hitting the inlet at 10am the fog broke around the middle of the inlet. Being in the calm waters of the bay we stopped and plugged for some blues. Mud channel had nothing but the top of Oyster creek had plenty in the 1.5 to 3lb range. Great top water action with a few for the box and many released unit I sunk a 5/0 treble into my hand. Thanks Ant for the removal. I would hate to have to carry that plug around all summer.We called it day and hit the dock by noon . Tomorrow its Wreckfish and the NJSWF trip. I better bring the "A" game and show the the guys some jumbo knuckleheads. Check out the picture of Old Barney that Anthoney is pointing at.
