Same me, was on the water a little later than normal, 2:30 AM. And here is the sunrise.

Ok just checking.

Nice going. I would concentrate on the back. There are a lot of bunker and fish stacked up in the usual areas. Good luck to everyone this year.

Opening of the season finally here. I fished tonight in the jbay area. Pretty decent pick, small fish though, bucktail and pork. There are a lot of bunker around, more than usual. Might shape up to be a pretty good season.

Fished another new area this AM (1:15 to 10:15), could only manage a short bass on a Washed Ashore Swim Darter.
Fun trip, like the area a real lot, lots of walking and casting, a real lot. Didn't see any bait, a little weedy at times.
Long Island has nice people there.

Nice effort. Good luck to you all this season.

Have been out a few times over the last two weeks since the season opened. Have been managing some schoolie bass on bucktails and rubber. For the last week I've been getting some real big blues up to 16 pounds. These are real bruisers. Hitting plugs, metal, and bucktails. All in the back bays. Nighttime.

X2 night! These are some monsters. They've bit through my line three times already. Thank God I only lost a few bucktails. Head-shaking fun.
