First 40lb Bass Raritan Bay

Mon, 14 May 2012 23:51:12 GMT

Jake Campi stopped by on Tuesday to weigh a nice 40lber in. He caught it on a Bunker head in the Raritan Bay area. The guys fishing the Navesink/Shrewsbury Rivers are still doing well with the Bass. Most of the Bass are anything from 28" to 36". I managed to get out fishing yesterday and ended with a two man Fluke limit.

I finally learned how to fish on skyway " still have more to learn". Thanks to pinoykev and daunte for the fishing tips . I got there around 7 am....left at 7 pm, ended up with 13 macks (14-16 inches average) ,1 pomp, and 1 sea bass. Even though i only had 3 hours of sleep but fishing can be so addictive I was talking to my gf on the phone while reeling in a fish and excited at the same time

> priceless... what a great day today. Happy fishing everyone!

Went out to the SSP with my girlfriend and some friends this morning at 10AM. Looked at the tide chart and noticed that the tides were pretty bad until around noon, so I didn't bother with the early morning hassle.Got out there and around 11 was a big mack frenzy right in front of us so we casted out gotchas got hookups at every cast. Either it was big jacks or nice macks. Ended around 4 because we had enough for dinner tonight . Tally today was 5 nice jacks, 9 keeper macks, but had to throw back I think 8 or 9 more. They were around 12 or 13 inches, but I threw them back because I prefer bigger ones with some meat. My friends caught 8 macks, but threw back 4. Also if you guys like spot tail pins or grunts, they were catching those like mad along the rocks. Here is a pic with me and my girlfriend's tally.

got there at about 5a.m., and left at 8a.m. we were between the dumpsters and first restrooms. the jacks were killing it just before sun up. and once the sun popped up the macks turned on. had a blast with the jacks, got 2 pomps, one was a keeper, 2 keeper macks, one blue runner, 1 trout a ton of pinfish, and several cut offs. i was free lining shrimp and catching macks, wife was using her sebiki, and friend was free lining greens. oh and i had a freakin turtle on the end of my shark rig. not cool. luckily he spit the hook right before i cut it so he got off scotch free. i would like to say thank you to the guys beside us on the pier for the heads up on what i was fighting. hope you all have a great day, ill be out there prob thursday.

Supermoon this weekend

Fri, 04 May 2012 00:23:37 GMT

So the news is saying how there is a super moon this saturday causing 42% more tidal force. All I can think of is: I need to get out to the pier and fish. I wonder how the fishing will be around this time. Im guessing either really good or really bad. What is everyone elses opinion? http://www.newser.com/story/145266/supermoon-coming-saturday.html

Was out at the ssp today at 7:30 am. Set up at the second bathroom. Morning was slow, but at around 10:00 am we had a frenzy going on in front of us. School of bonita was tearing up the bait and hitting everything we threw at them. Unfortunately they were breaking all of us because they were some pretty large ones in the 15 pound range. My girlfriend was catching blue runners left and right. Also there were plenty of very large jack crevalle running around attacking bait. In the end, we tallied 8 mackerel, millions of jack, and a lot of blue runners. Fishing died off at around 12 when flipper showed up and started eating our macks off of our lines.

Left hand 6/0 Special Senator - Penn 114LH

Sun, 29 Apr 2012 17:07:50 GMT

Need help! I am looking very hard for a used Penn Special Senator 114LH. This is the left handed version. I tore my left bicep last year and it never healed correctly so I can't hang on to a heavy rod with my left and crank with my right (the way most conventional setups work). I need the opposite, hence I'm looking for the discontinued 114LH. Does anybody out there know of a person or website that may have one? Been scouring the Internet and it seems very rare indeed. Willing to pay decent money for a decent used one! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanx!

got on the pier at 10:30, my wife had a blue runner hit her sebeki but broke off on the first cast. my friend caught one spanish a small snapper, and all the pins he could handle. my wife enjoyed the unlimited greenbacks and pins until she discovered the mystery fish stealing her shrimp from beside the piling , she tried to catch that fish for hours, i laughed... then she actually pulled a nice bandit off the piling. i stopped laughing then because i caught nothing. had flipper try to grab my king rig..... twice...... but nothing else.... the guys beside us were cathing a mixed bag with one really nice blue runner in the mix. but the bandits are all over the pilings right now and i saw one tarpon between the bridges. so maybe it will pick up soon...

April 24 report

Sat, 28 Apr 2012 20:45:08 GMT

Hi all

I got out my cart and was on long prier 7-12. No luck for macks but between 7-8 I saw 3 kings hook up but only 1 landed. Around 9 large school of c-jacks came in so we play catch and release. we only brought home 1 black sea bass. Bait was thick and water was clear. I won't know where macks where hiding maybe they were down at NSP. I saw a few flounder put in cooler.

Maybe we will have better luck next time.

Hey all, was out at the ssp by the first bathroom. Got there at 2:00 pm and at 2:30 I hooked a nice fat mack. My aunt caught a nice sized pompano also. Fished until 4:00, but hooked up 3 macks, 1 pompano, about 300,000 nice sized jacks, and a nice big blue runner. Not bad for 2 hours, will be out there in the morning same spot. Feel free to say hi, Ill be weating khaki shorts and a white long sleeves. Btw here are pics of the catch and dinner. The macks look small in the sink, but the smallest one is 14 inches to the fork.
