Today was very good for Blackfish. We caught and released about 50 tog including keepers of 8 lbs (two) and one 6 lber. (Boga Grip)
Released togs were other 8 lbers (me and Darren each); 9 lber (me) and two over 10 lbs (broke the line/hooks) plus many 4 to 6 lbers.
My nephew Eddie Goodell Jr. did OK with about 15 tog to 6 lbs. He also had 5 nice porgies.
Hot bite between 9:00 am and 11:00 in the 25 to 30 mph NW.
Then went to look for stripers...not much life heading back from the North to Shark River Inlet. Just a school of bluefish off Bradley Beach that were skittish.
Not many pics with the hot action...here is my 8 lber.
Looks for good for the upcoming full open Blackfish season.
Thx
