Fished my local river at the beginning of the ebb tide cycle today. Managed 2 short fat bass using a megabait plug.

Rip-Pluggers good friend Malibu Kenny came up from Florida for some fishing. MK's first night out with the big guy and he tangles with a Big Girl. After an epic battle MK lands this 45 inch Striper. R-P takes a quick pic and MK returned her back to the water. Rip-Plugger is doing some nice fishing and catching this fall up there.
Nice catch MK, he caufght it on a Smiling Bill

Wow Malibu Kenny that is a pig! Great going. I fished the river last night, went through some shads because the bluefish are in. 2 bluefish to 7 lbs and one short bass about that size, all on the tsunami shads.

Alot of guys would be dying for a bluefish in NY and NJ lol

I think it's amazing that you guys still have bluefish up there and our NJ surf has been barren of the larger blues for most of the season....Contrary to what people think, bluefish ain't stupid, they go where the highest concentrations of bait are...Nice catches, people...
