The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
I recently did a charter up North
(wont mention the name of the boat as they do not advertise here) We absolutely ANNIHILATED the Whiting & Ling Since this is a Fishery that NJ Fisherman Glorified in the 70's and 80's I thought I would give you a glimse of the Fishery we have up North       Will Post More If You Guys Care To See

Marc had a very good trip last week I only wish I was on that trip. I have to try to get in on one of his trips the fishing for the whiting up there is totally insane.

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
What state are you referring to when you say up north? Seeing pics of whiting brings a rush of memories.

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
Man do those pictures bring back memories! Younger people on this board have no idea how great the ling and whiting fishery was back in the 60's and the 70's. I only hope these fish continue to rebuild and migrate to the east as well. There's no reason if the commercial concerns are kept in check why this fishery can't be rebuilt. We should all learn from the fact that it not only collapsed like it did but did so seemingly over night. It's almost incomprehensible that a fishery that was so healthy could be decimated as quickly as it was but it shows what can happen to any stock of fish if it's over harvested commercially. Great eating fish and the bft love them to. If they ever rebound in the Mudhole again we'll see the big boys making their presence again during the fall migration. That was an amazing fishery as well, Hope we learn from our past mistakes.
Great to see those pictures, it reminds me of the Long Branch Pier back in the 70's! Dakota Last edited by dakota560; 08-13-2014 at 08:20 AM..

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
Nice pics, but makes me sad that a NY/NJ fisherman must drive to NH to get whiting.. I have been encouraged by the fact that we are seeing a few being caught by the boats fishing for ling this summer.. Hopefully, in my lifetime[I am 60], we will see whiting/ling inshore in good numbers again, and have a vibrant winter fishery the way we did decade after decade, until the southern stocks of Whiting were obliterated. Lets hope they make a dramatic return the way stripers did... bob

Re: The Whiting Are Biting 8/8 PHENOMINAL DAY
Nice work Mark,
Wish I could make one of the charters but this is an off year for me. The northern fisheries are something!
