I just picked up my BB pass yesterday so I am already to go.  I heard that a couple of bass have been caught by Island Heights already so it might be a good season if the catching has already started.

Good luck guys.

Happy Catching

First bass weighed was caught on a plug but probably at Oyster Creek. Had bass last year in the bay in March on plugs but you're right it was a casual approach today  ;D

Oyster Creek is the place to catch right now as there was a 14# striper caught there today.

Hey TBJ.  Give me a shout next time you're down my way again.  (Although I was working today anyway.)  Might head over there and throw for a little bit tomorrow.  If I do I'll post a report. t^
