Previous page great reports guys . Pics are great. No Youtube allowed in China, looking forward to seeing the video when I get back Rob.

^^^ X2. Enjoying them cause had to work OT this weekend and couldn't get out.Awesome reports fellas
Got out yesterday w/the boss and his son took them to a popular spot out front and setup with some bunker chunks from 6am-11am...Threw a head out and a chunk out and with in 10 mins the head got slammed and then poof bit off...Then the chunk got hit but they didnt grab the pole fast enuff while i was rebaiting and we missed it...So i decided to throw out my pencil and 3 shakes into the retrive i hooked up..Hand the pole over to Nick(my bosses son) and he reeled it in like a champ!!! Smaller blue maybe about 3lbs!! He didnt care he was happy and so was i that it wasnt a skunk...We manged 3 blues on chunks all about 4-6lbs and Nick caught them all on his own!! He was siked!! As the tide went out the crowd showed up and so did the robins..Must of had about 10 of them but they were having fun reeling them in...By 11 the action was slow and the bait was gone...They had a fiun time and so did I watching Nick reel in those fish,learn how to cast and learn how to release a fish the right way..I think i may have created a monster cause he already wants to no when we are going again ...
They left and i went for a marathon trip got some grub and hit the back to try and find some fluke fished from 2pm till 630 and could only managed 2 small 15in and a few more blues Couldnt find any good fluke bite...Maybe it was the S wind or the lack of good moving water but they just werent hitting for me..Saw tons and tons of bunker all over with a few blow ups in the pods here and there mostly blues inside them...It was a nice day so im glad i made the most of it..Would have liked some more flatties for the table but but ya cant get'em everytime...INstead i got a mean sunburn haha...Lots of guys out and didnt see to much catching...Gonna hit the rocks a few times this week to see if they have any flatties hiding in them...
Did the boat thing yesterday for 12 hours . There were bunker from Manasquan inlet to LBI marked very few fish not even a blue fish. Fishing was extremely slow for the 45 boats that fished yesterday in our tourney and 1 bass was weighed in. most charter boat have now moved on to seabass and fluke
Saw a whale sucking in bunker like they were M&M
IMO the bass are in big trouble and everytime a school pops up on a pod more and more are eliminated especially by 2 charter boats up north that find it necessary to post on 4 sights everyday it's sad. Bright side is Raritan bay is empting out and most of the meatmen up there will give up now that they'll have to work hard for them .

JB looks like the work of a dolphin not enough bass for them so I guess they are targeting bluefish now

Awesome reports gents. I fished moco twice this weekend. Got a few blues on metal sun morning,. skunk-ola the time before that. finchaser if you got skunked it must be real bad out there. dark has said that you could catch fish in a rain puddle. Sorry to hear that. blazin that was awesome good mojo on you for taking them out!
Fished moco this morning on the last of the incoming tide. One rinky dink 18" bass on the bucktail and grub. One 2# bluefish as well.
blazin, rob and shark great reports thats what someone said here i think in a thread called the joy of fishing. shark you look like a ninja warrior great disguise.
Night blues......
15 blues to 8# last night on the stinky sedge bank flats....
Did a lot of wading,.....
First it was bunker who should not have been there at that stage of the tide....incredible levels of activity with fish exploding and chasing pods of bunker all over....mag darter was the best producer.....
Then the lull during slack....eventually the fish came back, and were feeding on the pockets of shrimp....pretty good action, but tougher to catch....the challenge and levels of activity were a lot of fun....anything with a tail at the end got activity....teasers or fly fishing would have been ideal but the building wind made me go with a single style....small heavier swimmers with tails.....I still missed at least 10 fish for every one hooked...they were very picky....
Had to leave when the wind shifted to straight E.....20 mph...it killed all the feeding activity and the opportunity.....
wow sounds like you had a blast thanks for the report.
9 AM 2 bass and 4 blues all on new SP Minnow bunker color guess it works
