Well, went to the tip of the hook again to do some flukin' this time only with my cousin Dom. Got there around 6 15 this mornin, got viciously attacked by mosquitos on the walk from the car to the water, even with a CRAPLOAD of bugspray put on us like paint thinner. Fished the ocean side there, right where those stupid piping plover birds are scattered around like nats tricking people on boats into thinking there's blue fish around when really I didnt see any, but I saw about a dozen boats stop 20 feet off the shore and start chucking spoons and jigs.
Anyway, fished there for 4 hours before the sandy hook rangers took a slow stroll at us in there white dodge ram and told us we had to leave because the birds are nesting. These rangers are to busy worrying about all these birds and seagulls, when they should be worrying about picking up the broken pieces of glass and used tampons that sit on the beach for weeks at a time.

Had to fish the bay side, fished it for 2 hours, and literally did not have a single bite. To rocky to drag gulp and killies from shore, cant tell whats a bite and what is the bottom. I will never fish that site again, and for as long as those birds are spreading like wild fires over there, I wont ever make that walk again because of the mosquitos. Thanks rangers and mosquito's for cutting my fishing trip short.
Between myself and my cousin, we caught about 3 dozen short fluke and 2 dozen sea robins, and 1 keeper fluke just at 18 inches.
