Raritan Bay went from 42 all the way down to 34 last last night. With rain expected this weekend will only delay any kind of action. I will be staying home til next week.

The water was freezing today. I went this morning with clams and it was about 42. No fish around, small taps on the hook which were probably flounder. The guy at the tackle shop said it got to 50 yesterday, but not this morning it was like ice!
Manasquan river today 38 and brown
Barnegat bay 40 and clear
Beaver dam had skim ice this AM
both taken by me
The tackle store with the 50 BS is just trying to sell bait
Pay attention to what history has taught us or be prepared to relive it again
The USGS gauge at Keansburg finally touched 50, for real, yesterday. As finchaser said the rain dropped those temps like a rock. Now they are trending up a little and should honestly (tackle shop liers be damned) be into the 50's this week. I am liking the first few days of next week. The temp will be trending up and might produce some results.
50 deg in the rb, just hit it!
Won't be long now!
Went out tonight and the water was cold. I waded in and is was like crap. A lil longer yet
