So all I hear about in the last few weeks is how many fish they are catching out at the ridge. I get the boys together, and head out yesterday morning on the haul west from Barnegat inlet. As we just pull into the fishing area, it seems that the word was out with over 20 boats around. We dropped a 5 line spread with jet rigs, Clark spoons, feathers and ballyhoo. We immediately go on about a 8-10 lb. bluefish that we caught and released. In the next four hours of trolling the ridge we boated three decent Bonito... that was nice but not what we expected. One hit a jet, one on ballyhoo, and one on a feather... no consistency either. It didn't look like anyone else was killing it either. Any ideas? Maybe just a bad day?
