NJ fishing reports

Another early solo trip just 5 miles out of Manasquan inlet. Limit by 830.
This double was 10 and 11. I had to decide which one to throw back.

Another nice bag of fillets

We found a really good fluke bite at the rocks off Elberon & Long Branch in 40-50 ft.
Picked thru steady short fish for 6 nice keepers to 23"
Lost a lot of jigs and lead.

I am down in Sea Isle City and the bite has been pretty good but I am still jealous of you central and north Jersey guys. Send some of those doormats South for vacation.

Went back up to the green can at Shrewsbury rocks yesterday. We got 9 keepers between three of us. Thats a boat limit! That doesn't happen often since they upped the size to 18".
Again,lost a lot of jigs and lead...painful but worth it. You don't get a limit fishing in sand

Congrats and thanks, that's quite a haul. I'll be visiting this weekend and familiar with that area, but will try pressing closer to the rocks than usual. The Rattlesnake used to be the spot but for some reason it went dead a couple years ago. Any Stripers still around or Tunas on the lumps yet?
