Did a couple days of fluking in/around Sandy Hook Bay over the weekend; we managed to find some quality fish.
Yesterday, I headed down to Ocean County after work to try for some crabs. I crabbed the "bridge to nowhere in Manahawkin.
The crabbing was slow, but I managed to pull 18 nice jimmies along with a 14" fluke and a blowfish. I used 10 traps baited with bunker; I probably had at least 30 or more throwback shorts and sallys.
The crabs were an even mix of clean ones and rusty ones with most of the larger crabs being clean "one-clawed warriors."
Hope the crabbing picks up a bit in the Shews and the Sink in the next week or two as it has been a big disappointment for me so far.
