05 sept, lei,,,,, croaker's
« on: September 05, 2009, 08:04:52 PM »
 strolled out the little egg inlet today in search of something biting. seen a small fleet set up around the research bouy's, so decided to investigate.
 
 turns out to be croakers, and man where they hungry. caught a few, then shot out for some seabass nearby on the reef. managed 1 keeper, and several shorts. moved back for a few more croakers and wound up with a nice catch of 30 craokers, 1 seabass.

 croakers where nice big chubby fellas, caught on salted clam. was drop and reel all day,,, left them biting



edit: forgot to add,, we threw back as many if not more than we kept,, thinned out the big boys, throwing the little guys back for another day.

Wound up talking to a guy fishing the Mantoloking Bridge the other night and said they were there. Wind was about 20 NE that night so the surf was out of the question
