The APP today has reported that the weekies are back in force in Barnagate Bay
And with a ONE Fish Limit.
And the report also mentions the fact that I posted before, that the Bite is very early and over at sun up. And that has been the case for years, I did not mention the spots for being accused of spot burning, But One is Just south off Romer Shoal Mussel beds, Start time 3am We would drift Sand worms with a 3 way with a 4 to 5 foot leader. bouncing bottom. most time it was a short drift over the area. And when the sun rose and the boats started to grow the Bite would shut down.
The other is off the point of Union Beach just off the beach to north east 1/4 mile there is a hole. that holds them in a running tide and again the timing is the same. and the sound of motors gives them lock jaw, you must drift over the spot. The kayaker's do the best as that was my system. worms and buck tails , and the fly guys with Clousers since it was mostly dark. dark patterns of Black to Purple were used. I bet they are there , And if one catches one laden with eggs a photo and release is a good idea, unless you are starving. And when ever we fished these areas it was the same guys time after time.
Another little item Spanish Mackerel just off Union beach point and the Key port flats. Bill
