Default LBI for a week or surf/jetty

Spent a week's vacation at a rental North Beach

Never seen more snappers in the wash........
Clear water made them visible. WOW! everywhere feeding on spearing/rainfish
Livelined quite a few for some fluke and bluefish bites

All the blackfish you can catch at Barnegat light, mostly 13-15" but managed a few keepers each day up to 20"
Also caught a few triggers and even a sheepshead on crabs

Kingfish came and went. One day you can easily catch 20 then catch zero the next

1/2 day tourist boat catching like 6 keepers a trip.
I caught a huge seabass one day and a 20" fluke another

Never saw my family much... I wonder how their week went

All I did was fish all day

Oh... crabbing was fair for not trying hard

left 2 pots out all night for 4- 6 rather large crabs each time.
