Day late on the report sorry guys
Had the Bob Schlink charter aboard yesterday. Had hopes of livelining and/or jigging some fish up north. Got a late start but found some bunker just N of Shark River; they weren't concentrated enough to throw the net at that point nor could we get the snags into any so we went into troll mode after a futile attempt at jigging over some marks off Long Branch.
We put the sticks out around 9 am and head a steady pick of bass and bluefish the rest of the day trolling between Long Branch and Monmouth Beach. Bomber and Mann's stretch plugs as well as white shad rigs did the trick.
By day's end we boated 7 bass to 25# (biggest taken by Jim), and about a dozen bluefish to 10#.
The crew had a great time, even though we certainly didn't have our best day.
