Hunter 2- Raritan Bay- Memorial Day cruise/Bluefish
« on: May 27, 2014, 05:46:25 AM »
Memorial Day afternoon I had 13 family and friends for a cruise and troll trip in the bay.  I wanted to try out Tony Majas downrigger/Bungi cord rig for spoons.  Jersey Joe took over as Captain so Scott G and I could watch the deck and help everyone catch and release all the Bluefish that were caught.   The Bungi/Downrigger rig worked great and the rod pulsed as if It was deployed directely from the rod. 10 year old Matt and Branden battled a few blues then the wives and my sister took turn cranking them in.  No Stripers today but it would have been a bonus to land them where we fished.   Chartreuse stretch 25's were what the Blues wanted.   Great day on the water. chrz,
   Good luck!!      Eddie

Its better to sit in a boat and think about God, than to sit in a church and think about fishing.
