Had the Gary Decker charter on board today consisting of Gary and his buddy's Andy and Cap. None of these guys have ever striper fished and obviously none have ever caught a bass so today was the day to bust their cherry's on stripers.
Started out just S and way off, got into some bluefish right off the bat. We then ran back to the north, and did squat, so we then worked our way back to the South and got into a little life here and there along the way down to Mantoloking. We broke out the sticks at that point to troll tube rigs and only picked more bluefish, so we ran a little further S where we got called into a decent bite by the Monger boys.
We got into the fish pretty good between Seaside and Lavalette, getting nice shots of fish about a mile off. Nice mix of bass and bluefish. Bass were 24-30", bluefish were 5-14#, quite a bit bigger than yesterday. Not as many dogfish today either. Wound up with about 60 bluefish if not more, and 15 bass of which 4 were boxers to 30". Good day, all of these guys got their first ever bass and had a blast reeling in fish all day long!!
