Last man standing - nice!
Fished this afternoon 3-5 brutally cold I had 5 my friend had 10 and my other friend had 2 we bounced DOA 5 1/2 inch jerk baits and Gags Whip it fished on bottom at a painfully slow pace with an occasional twitch as fish were very lethargic. My friend who had 10 got them on the old Vision sand eel. The fat lady is really really close

The first and last sentences of your post say it all. I got out of bed at 5 am this morning and was going to hit the beach. Looked at the temperature and said the hell with it. I have to give it to you finchaser you are the last of a dying breed. The old salts who work for their fish despite lack of participation or internet reports. My hat is off to you sir.
Nice job Fin..If i lived a bit closer id be out there.."Life" seems to be getting in the way recently..you no..Honey-do list ive been putting off for 2 months now ..Plus holiday stuff..Been trying to get out since Sun..I did get my xmas tree up finally(as my wife would say)So maybe that will buy me a night in the suds?May try Fri night and Sun am..Keep catching bud!
I'm going to give it a few more tries before packing it in as well.
You guys are the true warriors! Hoo rah just like the marines!
No we are just pathetic idiots who don't want to admit reality that the bulk of the fish are long gone. It will be a long winter and I don't want to face that fact yet.
Fished today 2:30-4:30. Cold but managable. Not that windy, still cold. Water temp was 43 degrees. Managed 2 short bass on smallest diamond jig and redgill teaser. Blind casting.
fished this morning we managed 30 fish between 2 of us air 18 degrees water 43 they are schooling up to leave.
Fished this afternoon same spot like past 3 days, and its the dead sea as Ristori explains in his blog after fishing with us its hit or miss.
Back to the drawing board in the AM

Fished ocean county yesterday, 3 short stripers on vision eel. Like finchaser said you had to basically drag it on the bottom.
Today better condtions, some sun. One hit and missed it on the vision. No other action. Good job on the fishing finchaser it is really cold out there.
I salute you guys still fishing. The water is totally dead in cape may. A few doggies and skates. Some fish came through last week but who knows where they are now probably the chesapeake bay.
Thanks for the kind words guy's going out now to see if they feed before tomorrows storm.

Give em hell finchaser! Must be nice to live that close. Except for when storms like Sandy roll in. Good luck
Fished occo and moco this afternoon. Not a touch. Anything thats left is only the stragglers the bulk of the fish have flown the coop. After the storm as finchaser said it will be like picking a needle in a haystack if there are any left.
