I left Irwin's marina today on the Navesink River and started fishing by the Oceanic Bridge. It was low tide and about 6 boats fishing in the area. Just sea weed. I asked a couple of the boats and they said they had mostly shorts. One said he had a keeper. Went on the Bahr's and past the Sea Streak but no bites at all. Went by the pound nets and nothing. Bug Light the same. Saw 3 party boats ( Atlantic Star, Dorothy B and Elaine B) in Flynn's Knoll on the western edge. Nothing going for them or me. Finally I decided to go to the Eastern side of Knoll by the red buoy. The drift was north and I got my first bite which was a 18 1/4 inch fluke. I used a head of squid with a Gulp. It started to rain and was getting rough so I started to go back. Fished by the Ocean Bridge but nothing. But I was so happy to catch a keeper.
