Today was Definately not the day for a joy ride out there.
Had the Holzer Party from Allentown P.A. out in search of some bass and were greeted by 25 S.E. winds and the outgoing tide. Only 3 boats made it out of Atlantic Highlands/Highlands area...Party Boat Dorothy B., Charter Boat Little Hawk and us.
Despite the favored snotty conditions the bass seem to like, it was not meant to be with the bass today. After 3 hours of getting pounded, we made a run back to the Shrewsbury River to try a few spots up river....on the way, i realized i had a prime opportunity to troll the river with NO OTHER BOAT TRAFFIC AROUND( a definate rarity there)...out went the stretches and right away had MONSTER BLUES....all you could want up to 15 LBS...we hammered the 1/4 mile stretch for 2 hours.....then we made the extremely long 3 MINUTE RIDE back to dock. All in all, not what we wanted but thanks mr bluefish for cooperating for my clients today.
P.S. 1 of the 3 boats i mentioned dared to venture to Romer Today....He hailed me to let me know what a big mistake that really was as they took a beating with no fish either.
