Hope you did well. as far a clear waters, get out now before that storm that may hit us this weekend screws it up . You mentioned a chop on the water, that is so true when the Raritan Bay south shore is Flat or calm The fish seem to get Lock Jaw but add some chop or white caps and the bite is on. Weather its churning up the Banks to release bait or they feel more comfortable coming in closer to the Shore line. Like In the Ocean Beach Surf. a rougher surf always seems better.
