Had a NJSWF crew today with Wreckfish and Jakemeister (Phil & Jake) onboard with my son for a shot at some Raritan Bay bass. Set up in the Belford area and started cracking. Phil broke the ice with a skate and then nothing for two hours. Got a tip from Capt. Carl and we made a move over by the Reach and we managed to land 3 bass with one being a keeper. Dan landed a skate and Jake had a nice fish on that came unbuttoned. Conditions got worse as the day dragged on. We did try to go on the troll but after taking a few over the bow we packed it in and limped home. I am not saying who caught the 3 bass but they were caught on a "Wreckfish Rod"
It was great having Phil and Jake onboard, with Jake and my son as deckhands I got to relax and fish
