LI Fishing Reports - NJ Can S**K it!

[cowherder]

But as far as my fishing for bass and blues (my real passion), Long Island kicks jersey's @ss from cape may to the tip of the hook.

Not meaning to start a war here but it does feel like you are too good to fish NJ. I agree with everything else you said and think 90% of our politicians are corrupt but we have some great fishing in NJ!
How about the spring blitzes of the 40 lb bass in the surf? Granted I haven't been jumping in them because of the crowds but last time I checked I don't think they have blitzes in LI like that!
Last year we had some of the best bluefishing in Raritan bay that I have seen in my short fishing career. Did they have that in long island? Well maybe but I did not read about it anywhere so you would have to prove this statment to be true otherwise you're full of hooy!

Agreed not trying to start a fight with you either monty but I think last year the spring nj bluefishing was epic. I don't think anyone else had that quality of big fish from the surf. The heck with lawnguyland we have Jersey Pride!

For the record I did not pick the name of this thread....but
I would never think I am too good for Jersey. Sure I wish I lived on Long Island, but Jersey is my second favorite place.
When I fish its about enjoying my effort in trying to catch. I enjoyed fishing Robert Moses beaches a real lot last year. Then I think I made 12-15 or so night/morning trips out to Montauk and was in awe every trip of the beaches/structure. I have a couple north side beaches picked out for this year too.
I would never be found in the Jersey Death Squad throwing pencils at 40 pound bass, I have not and don't fish in crowded areas ever. I look and find uncrowded areas, now in LI, like I have done in Jersey.
As for catching on LI for me, my bluefish numbers were down, but I caught bluefish over 30 inches at least 5 different times, which is a lot for me. And was my best Striper year since 2011. I had a great time fishing last year. Was incredible fun exploring/fishing new water, can't wait to get out there again.
Heck, I used to trout fish the Flat Brook in north Jersey for many years then took a few trips to the Beaverkill River in the Catskills (at the end of my trout fishing days most of my trips were to the Catskills). Very similar comparison.

And the bottom line is that there are a lot more dead things on LI so I can kick Storminsteve's @ss again 2015.

^^^^^ haha you are delirious dude this year I will crush you so badly you won't even be able to see my dust!
Heres to some good competition, may the best dead things finder reign over the rest of you!

lol well I might try for that title this year too. The dead things thread is one of the coolest threads on any site. Nice work and good luck guys.

Nice report can't wait till april 15.

Just noticed the title of the thread. LI has the north shore and south shore. That has to be more fishing area than all of jersey. I didn't exactly calculate it but it seems like we def have more opportunities.

I fished 2 times this weekend friday and sunday towards the top of the tide. Ocean side. Friday I picked up one runt on a bucktail and pork. Sunday it was windier and cold. Nothing for me.
