Inlet blues

[NJ219bands]

Went fishing 🎣 in Manasquan Inlet this afternoon in the cold rain 🌧️ on the incoming tide during a sou’easter small craft advisory and coastal flood watch. Air temperature was only 59 degrees. Few people were out in the rain. Caught, tagged and released 2 bluefish with a plain hook Ava A-17 and my brother John’s homemade, synthetic bucktail teaser in 2.5 hours of casting. A spear fisherman shot a striped bass and bluefish. The Game Warden was in the parking lot when I left. The new party boat Point Princess went out, then in the inlet. Saw one fish swirl near the rocks. Took pics.
