This is how it went down:

Fished mainly around home at Barnegat Light but could only find one small fish which I actually never quite landed. Fished up and down the island Monday and couln"t buy a fish. Saw a huge flock of birds working a few miles off Loveladies on Sunday afternoon and also outside the inlet on the edge of the shoals.It was a little lumpy outside but there was one boat right in the middle of the melee..lucky guy!

Nothing in the dark on the needlefish. First light put on a popper and retrieved it SLOWLY. Got one about 24-25" in the suds. Had to go to work. As usual, the birds are still about 1 mile offshore.

This is how it went down:

Fished the wall a few hundred yards down from the bridge in SRI. Friday was fantabulous as numerous double headers were caught during high slack. Saturday was good, but just a pick, as inlet boat traffic stirred things up and participation was much higher. Big fleet chumming off the gas docks.

Beautiful night. Everything just seem to meld together. Live lined at first, had a small BASS ride a wave in while I brought him in. Funny to see. Anyway. The BASS started smackin the bunker, so I switched to the Artificial. It was pretty much non-stop for an hour or so. Between me and this guy next to me, we caught quite a few. He was using a Yozuri-s black and white, but the Mega-bait I was using seemed to produce the best of everyone there. No teaser. Others around us had teasers and they didn't seem to be working as well.

They were: short

This is how it went down:

Took a ride down to the pocket at IBSP. The surf was looking good - I guess due to the North winds. Got to the spot at about 2:35. Noticed a leak in my waders at about 2:40. Caught the short at about 3:45. Launched a black, 16a bomber to Europe when my line snapped - 4:10. Lost feeling in my left big toe - 4:30. (Fingers soon followed.) Just glad to hook into something - even if it was a short. PS: Santa, if you are reading this, I want Neoprene waders, size 10.
