One day great- Another El Sucko

[jakesdad]

The fish are holding to the north. I have a private boat out of Shark River, made more runs to the rocks this year than the last 20. If conditions are right you catch, if no wind or to much it sucks.

I fished my boat on Tuesday, 2 keepers and 15 returned for another day. Had the beginnings of the heave so went and fished the Fishermen on Wednesday,

No heave, as long as the tide was running we caught. Spoke to a friend south of us, great seabass, but bottom churned and no fluke, pretty good heave, bottom churned

Had a extra day off on Friday, and with the report of NE in the morning opted to go out again with the Fishermen, calm in the channels, rough to our south, caught fish both sides of the tide with the movement, ended that day with 4 keepers and over 30 shorts.

Thursday night my wife asked if I was fishing on Friday, told her I had 2 choices, fish my boat and not catch and get beaten up, or fish up north and catch and be comfortable, no brainer!

Lets face it, if you catch 50 shorts between a couple of folks, then its not the bite that stinks, it is the regs. 18 inch fluke is a darn decent size fish.

There's plenty of fish. I hope they go back to 171/2". Five fish a person is plenty of fillets.
