I thought it was just the killie pulling the bobber but when a killie came back with just it's and then on the next cast 1/2 a killie came back, I immediately knew there had to be snappers around. So I ran to the bait shop, bought a pack of spearing and some snapper hooks. Long story short, he ended up catching 2 (setting the hook & reeling them in unassisted).
I caught 3 later that evening and another 6 in 30 minutes fishing this morning.
Sized ranged from 4-6 inches.
Not sure if they're in Raritan Bay or the Shrewsbury/Navesink but they are definitely in my lagoon system in Brick.

Great story and LOL how you couldn't help yourself from catching a few on your own.
Another generation of fisherman in the making!
