Had plans to spend the weekend down the shore but Hermine thought otherwise, so I instead met Mikey dark and early at Behre's for bait and tried to beat the crowds and wind. Launched to increasing winds, but found a few fish early luckily. Nice mixed bag of Hybrid/Smallie/Channels with the highlight being 3 'brids between 22.5"-23.5". Didn't mark much on the FF, but when we did, we hooked up, go figure

. 62 and breezy in the a.m., big difference from last time we fished it, 110 degree heat index lol. Called it around 10:45 as the sun was poking through the clouds.

Anyone else like how skunk seems to truffle shuffle their bellies so we know their fat?

Maybe it'll jump start fall cause I'm tired of summer!

Nice job. I was out there last night and did less well. Caught a bunch of undersized 'wipers' and crappie.

I understand 'wiper' is a blended word combining white bass with striped bass, but I don't like it. Calling the fish 'wipers' makes it sound like they practice good fecal hygiene.
