Hunter 2- Raritan bay, 5-19-2010

[Hunter 2]

Pulled out of Keyport around 5:30pm with Cashin and Fireman John. Head south a bit and started letting out the brand new Maja spoons purchased today,, with some special weights, Instantly Johns rod screams and wham,, the whole $43 rig is Gone.. ,  The braid came back with nothing on it.  Something cut it off.
  Trolled a few hours and had great readings all over but no takers,Not even a bluefish,,  Tried some stretch 25's and no luck,,
  Switched over to clamming and we get a quick 36" Striper, then a big Skate, and a short Striper,, At least John has some fish to feed the firemen tommorrow.

  That was it, Back at the dock by 11:30pm, and back tomorrow morning at 7am. 
  I hope things pick up tommorrow,
  good luck, Eddie

Fine report as usual Eddie.. tough break on the tackle loss.. always more painful when they still have that new lure smell  Hopefully the fish gods will consider your dues paid for a while
