And life is back again. Back bay water temperatures hit 50 degrees for one day last week. A good start for February.

Like a roller coaster, they are back down again. Bunker are still around though. Early spring for sure.

Didn't take long for the big freeze to take over. Parts of Barney Bay look like a winter Ice palace.

Upstate had close to 2 feet of snow the runoff when it melts should plummet the bay temp

It's over before it even started.

The fat lady has sung, see you guys next March.

Jbarbosa I think you are the only one who knows how to fish in cold weather besides us. Too many are pansies waiting for the perfect day. My crew and I caught some small stripers the first two days after opening day, but nothing big only runts on worms. We have been getting some herring before the snow as well. These are nice sea herring that you can catch and keep. Yep there are no fish in Jersey right now. Everyone should stay on the couch watching TV.

nothing like shocking and killing little fish

The water temp is 37 deg at Keansburg gate right now during incoming tide
