Almost all the keepers were caught in the restricted zone. Those who paddled to the tip of the hook didn't do well even though it was deeper and had better current. Lack of fishing pressure was the game changer. Also I would like to thank Cancun Pete for his donated gear, water, and ice.
Well there you go and thanks to Pete from Atlantic Bait and Tackle https://atlanticbaitandtackle.com/ and Heroes on the water https://heroesonthewater.org/chapters/new-jersey/ and all others who support their cause.

Nice to see good things happening for good people...
