Thanks for the report Kez. The pics are nice too. What was the water temp today?   Hey, If you need bait you can find around four bait shops in the Keyport area and ramps too.

temp 48/49 degrees,have to plan ahead as the bass get here,Fred's sold out early this morning,we started a little late,bait and paint Sayreville only said he had 2 dozen when I stopped,looking to get full bushel,sent Hon to Fred's,could only get shucked,jumped on the phone and called bait and paintball to hold those 2 doz for Hon be there shortly.which he did and actually had a 3 doz and a 1/2.gave them to Hon for $17.50,which is a good price,want the bait shop you normally go to to take care of you.Sayreville shop on my way to ramp,out of the way to run to Fred's,as the demand gets heavy for fresh clams,you have to phone ahead and reserve.   Kez

Nice report... t^...always a good day went spent on the water.

How deep were you fishing? I've been hearing that the better bite is still in relatively shallow water  (6-8').

fish that were caught were in 12 feet of water,tried shallower water but no takers.  Kez
