Starting the season off right
« on: April 02, 2013, 08:17:12 PM »
I hadn't planned to start fishing for a few more weeks.  Just wasn't feeling it. 
Yesterday morning I woke up and decided a little fresh air and sunshine might be a good idea.  I grabbed a few lures and rod and headed out to a backwater spot in Ocean Co.
Fished for 2 hours with small bucktails and soft plastics.
Got 1 small fish with stripes on a schoolbus bucktail.    ;D
Saw a few other fish landed on clams and worms.

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

Fishing Sandy Hook and anywhere I can get on a boat.




My biggest fear is when I die my wife sells all of my fishing tackle for what she thinks I paid for it!

Hit the same spot for a couple hours this morning.
Took bloodworms this time as well as bucktails and shads. 
Had 2 micro bass on the worms.  t^
Seemed slower all around today, but that may have been due to the tide stage.

Good going again Chris.  I might throw some stuff into the expedition and try later once the honey do's are over for the day.

We had our last inspection today and everything passed so we are waiting for that last check from the mortgage co. now.

Happy Catching
