Completed back to back doubleheaders today. Went fishing 🎣 in Manasquan Inlet this afternoon on a hot, sunny day with little wind and incoming tide during the new moon 🌑 flood tide. Caught, tagged and released a 19” 2.75 lb fluke with a 50 year old metal. Only had one hit in 100 minutes of casting. Got weeds on nearly every cast. Lots of boats, fishermen, beach people and surfers 🏄*♂️ were nearby. Brant were on Debbie’s Creek. Caught nothing in 4 of 7 trips to the inlet this year. Went carping in the 74 degree Millstone River on the south shore in West Windsor, NJ, this evening to complete back to back doubleheaders. A strong south wind blew away the mosquitoes 🦟 and made it feel cool in the shade. Threw out corn for chum, then caught nothing while ultralight jigging. Landed a 24” 6.5 lb milt leaking, spawn ready common carp with canned whole kernel corn on 12 lb test line. Caught 9 carp that weighed 64.5 lbs this year.
