Fellow Anglers,
Had Jack Famularo of Little Falls, NJ party fishing with us today for what was a somewhat frustrating day as we caught numerous shorts (63) in many areas of Raritan Bay and could only post 5 keepers for the box to show for our efforts. But I would be remiss if I didn't mention the one grand fish of the day- a 8 lb 12 oz beast that hit a 6 oz Spro which obviously made our day.
Although we had fantastic drifting conditions in one key spot we were in, it was one short after another with a keeper every now and then thrown in. Once the current went into high gear, it was basically over in that area and it was time to move again searching for fish. Frustrating day as far as keepers were concerned. Too bad as this group of men were really fun to be with and I was hoping for a little better success. 12 to 14 keepers would have made me much happier.
Tight Lines,
Capt. John
