Common Sense In The Fog

[YallKnowMe]

It was a dangerous day on the water today. Visibility was about 1/2 mile. I don't think a radar was a necessity, but common sense was helpful. We had no problem seeing most vessels nearing out 16 footer. However, my handheld GPS was vital for our safe return home. One boater was actually installing his new radar at the dock. Safe to say he didn't have a clue. Most worrisome part of the day were the numerous large vessels that were running at 30+ knots through the fog. Overall, though, it was one of the worst midday fogs that I've seen in the area. Current was ripping to boot and made striper fishing nearly impossible. Large (10lb+ blues from Keansburg to Keyport) throughout the water column. We ended up boating at least 60 large blues prior to going back to port
