Beautiful weather and excellent conditions this morning. I tried a little north of Island Beach. Wasn't expecting much and I scaled down my presentation and fished low and slow. I worked my way to a spot that I saw some loons working in close and got a couple lethargic taps before hooking a small Bass by letting my rig hang on the beach lip. When the tide topped off the cloud cover broke up and what little action there was faded. Very happy to get out and fortunate to get some action. Here's to a happy and healthy new year and best of luck to all.
