What happened to the NJ Surfcasters?

Sign o the times. You need to save the energy for the exact moment they are blitzing. It takes a lot of stamina to reel in a 40lb fish 50 yards from the beach.

Brasilva's Story.....complete with Expletives (edited)...I think it's more meaningful if I share it as he told it to me...


"I heard there were some fish on the beaches in NJ and bass fishing had slowed down in Jamaica Bay for me.
I came to NJ on Saturday because a friend of mine told me some guys were catching bass.

When I got there we went to the Monmouth County area.
My friend took me to a few places. We stood at the tops of the streets and watched.

I ask him "What are we waiting for? Why don't we just fish?"

He told me: "No we have to wait for the blitz"

We spend 4 hours running around and looking for these stupid blitzes.
In the end I got tired of this, and went to the beach by myself (he was still up and looking around with binoclars)


I caught one bluefish on a popper before the end of the day.
It is stupid ****, you guys all standing around.
Why don't you go down there and fish?
Dumbest **** I ever heard of.

In all my fishing I didn't come across guys who acted like this till I came to NJ.

You can have it,. I am going back to Brooklyn to fish where guys actually fish! This is ********! "

I usually don't venture down that far to where all the jetties are. It seems from the description that guys don't want to fish any more. It's like an internet game to them. They don't want to make the effort unless a big prize is involved. Childish.
