6/5....hit it late day for a few hours before sundown on the flats around both sides of Earle. Tough go with few bites but great conditions. Few shorts was it before sundown.

6/6....back at it early East side of SHB. Picked and picked from Officers Row down to Skelton Hill. Again all shorties and a couple of cocktail blues in the mix. Took a ride west and hit the Keansburg Canyon (TY -GD..:D) and had our best pick of the day coming up on the end of the outgoing.

Only managed a lone 19” keeper but the 4 of easily decked 50+. Nice action on 16-17.99999” fish.

Thru the kitchen sink out there. Every gulp imaginable, squid, spearing, smelt, killies. My kid went old school and had the hot hand with a pink spin n’ glo and ham sandwich (blast front the past)!!!!

18 FOW was sweet spot. Water ranged 67-71 when sun got hi. Bunker pods isolated to just around bug light.

FWIW......the whole “deadly force can and will be used” message on the PA from Earle was a little over the top....:p

Was out there yesterday in SH. You are a soldier in that heat.

That pictured fish was the legal sized 18 centimeters? LOL

Ham sandwich AKA the Sandy Hook sandwich.....strip of squid and live killie circa 1990 :D

Funny watching my kid and his bud, both 19, looking thru an old tackle bag. Shit I haven’t used in years!!! Spin N Glos, Colorado spinner blades, B2 squids, squid skirts, Mylar skirts, and on and on. Damn I’m old! And apparently a HUGE hack...

Yeah it was toasty Capt Frank. Once the tide dropped out and the breeze died it got brutal !!! What’s the deal with the Earle PA announcement? First time I’ve ever heard that????

What no Kahle (English wide gap) hooks ?

I do remember the Spin N Glos as being sea robin magnets

I will admit that I’ll still use Mylar skirts on occasion
