Had the Harry Sellinger charter on board consisting of Harry and his buddies Jose and Gary.
Ran a little south to start off, and had some bluefish, birds, and fluke on the jigs first thing. Harry nailed a beautiful 21" fluke that went right back in. We got into a little better bluefish bite a bit further south, then went into search mode looking between Mantoloking and Seaside; only found a few more bluefish. Got a call there was a bite going on nearly 20 miles to our north, so off we went to try to cash in.
When we got there we found a good sized fleet, a few birds working - we just missed the bite. We only picked up a handful of bluefish, as well as a few seabass on the jigs. Again we read loads of fish, they just didn't have the feedbags on. Went up on the troll for the last hour and picked a few more gators on red tubes.
Very tough day for us - we had a bunch of blues in the 7-10# range, but no bass. Harry and his boys were a great crew - they fished hard all day and had a blast with the blues they caught. We covered a lot of ocean today to put some fish in the box; it just didn't happen for us!
