Unusual Saltwater Catches
I posted a request for confirmation of a few bonito having been caught recently at Sandy Hook. It got me wondering about other unusual catches of exotic or "lost" fish along the NJ coast. How many are caught and never reported? Maybe you caught a sturgeon or like Capt. Fred Coles did years ago just off the beach in Sea Bright, a tarpon.
Please let us know about your unusual catches from this year no matter how strange they are. Maybe it was a winter flounder in the bay in mid August. Maybe it was a pollack on an umbrella rig or a houndfish on a feather. The types of fish and methods used to catch them are endless. Please feel free to share your experiences with us.
Any instances of banded rudder fish catches should be posted on another thread.
