One day great- Another El Sucko

[Papasown]

Hey Cuz, you're right the fishing in Raritan was on fire this year with early and strong Striper bite, and many 50+ lb. fish, . Then the fluke turned on strong before the opener of the season, while out of the Manasquan Inlet we had to run to shrewsbury roocks for a striper bite. The Bass bite near Manasquan started late, and lasted a very short time, with snag and drop fishing with the huge bunker pods being less productive than other years. The fluking turned on very slow in the season opener, and was weak nearby until the water warmed up in July. Perhaps the fall fishing will be stronger, but the Raritan always seems a stonger fishery to me, year after year. Catch 'em up...............Papa
