7-9am, incoming. Fished a ss spot with clams near an inlet. I don't know why I bothered. 8oz to hold, and then it wasn't really holding. Windy and rough surf. Zip for me.

I fished three hours this afternoon at a south shore inlet area. I fished the bay side from 4 till 5 pm, with a diamond jig and red gill teaser. I caught one shad on my first cast, but that was it. I spent the next 2 hours fishing the shad chunks in three different spots in the ocean. I had no hits.

Went to a south shore inlet area this morning, I fished both inside and out. I caught 2 small bass on diamond jigs one on the jetty and one on the beach. I also foul hooked a large skate, I thought it was a nice fish, at first it took a lot of drag then it just suctioned to the bottom. I also saw a seal up on the beach, it looked injured I called the marine mammal rescue phone number and reported it.

I went to a moses area beach 10-1 today, fished a tin, and also a buck with a white grubtail. I got blanked. There was a huge flock of birds far out but they never came in. Windy, and windy! It was nice that you tried to save that seal jimbob, some guys hate them.

I fished for 2 hours this afternoon in the rain. I caught 3 Bass 2 fish 24 and 26 inches and one 34" that I took home for dinner. I tagged the other two. I used diamond jigs until dark then switched to a bomber. I got many other hits and had another fish on but dropped it.

That's good to hear Jimbob. We've been having discussions here in NJ if the fall run is truly over or not. A bunch of guys have packed up their gear and cleaned out their trucks already.

I can't accept that yet, although realistically I feel 90% of the striped bass biomass is now past us and in the Delaware or Chesapeake bay areas. At least your catches give people some hope. Great report and beautiful pics. Nice fish!
