Raritan Bay 8/15

[Grateful Dad]

Got out of Keyport in the AM, wind was still a little snotty so I thought I'd stay local until it died down. Found out I didn't need to move, had a perfect drift right along the edge of the Reach from #20 west, in 20-28ft. of water. Picked fish all day, got 3 for the table, biggest at 24". We stuck with the tried and true Wonder rig, and as usual, the killie got 'em all. Just a couple dogs and sea robins, so they weren't much of a problem, it was pretty much all fluke, all day.

Yes, they are still in R. Bay, had four keepers to 20" plus at N.Y. side.

Nice job! I was surprised how many boats in the back. Like old times. :D

Great report and glad you got’em... If fuel prices continue going up we’ll be doing over nighters to Romer Shoal :)

Haha you're right. Best part of this trip, I made my last drift extra-long, the incoming tide took us right up to the sailboats in Keyport, I didn't burn any fuel on the ride home LOL
