Sunday at the PP inlet

[SaltLife1980]

Went down to Point Pleasant inlet this morning. First got there and got set up. Tide wasnt moving at all and didnt even a bite for like an hour. Moved all over the place but they did not want to chew! The boat traffic was bad too that didnt help. Once the water started moving it was game on! Killed 9 dozen crabs! Lots of action to start out with smaller fish. Dad hooked into good fish and swung it up. Fat 17 and a half incher. Today we were keeping fish for dinner so in the cooler it went. Wasnt to long after that i get hammered and fight is on. Light rod but i got em to the top and flipped him in. Bam! 19 and a half inches! And weighed out at 4.7 pounds. Put her into the cooler and dropped back down and wacked again. Another 16in fish!! Dad hooks into another good one that measured out at 19 inches that got swim another day! Dad again hooks into a good one and swings it up and its another better sized fish. 18 and a half inches returned to grow bigger. I nail another 16 and half inch fish. Savage bite! Dad fished the jig all day and did great. I fished the jig for a little then just went with the old faithful belmar rig. Jig seemed to produce but i was holding my own with the rig. We pulled 8 fish between us that were keeper size. Kept our limit of 2 and released the rest. Good day fishing besides being cold as hell this morning!

Nice job! Congrats!

Great day fishing, met some other fisherman fishing near us. Always enjoyable speaking to others. Only downside is $3.00 an hour parking!!

Even with buying some crabs for bait, you still got away with some money in your pocket compared to a trip on a party boat.

Most don't do that good paying for a party boat all day. Congratulations to you both.

Thanks for the report!!! I had been fishing my usual spots in the canal catching cookie cutter shorts and having fun with it but after reading your report on the inlet I decided to give it a try... took my girlfriend and we got our two keepers in about 90 minutes with some other shorts mixed in... not the action that you get in the canal but enough to keep her interested on a chilly day. Can’t wait for dinner tonight...

Nice going Criswell's . You guys could catch something in a rain puddle and pretty sure you would try LOL.

Have to agree. I think the biggest I got out of the canal was around 12 inches. After countless 8 inch fish it looked like a monster. Plus side was my girlfriend got the hang of it and enjoyed it.

My son got a nice keeper and we both had several just misses in the canal in Sunday.
