Fish Monger 4/30 Blackfish Limit/ Codfish/ Striper Limit!!!

[Capt. Jerry P]

Well another Nice day to be on the water!!! Had Greg Vonga's Charter along with fellow Fish Monger Regulars, Joe Jigs, Richie, Bob Bates, Tony Triggs and Reel Ron.

Headed out for our last day of Spring Blackfishing. Headed towards the grounds and again the bass were blowing up with bird life and crazy readings... Broke the jigs out and had the Mutiple hook ups right away with nice size fish up to 23lbs... Boxed up a 6 man limit Before 8:30 am... let a bunch More shorts and a Couple of Bigger Females and Blues Go free for another day!!!

Back to the Blackfish and It appeared to be as slow as Yesterday... We still had the south current and the Blackfish didnt chew Well on our first couple drops with only a Few keepers and shorts.

At Lunch time i Decided to make a Big run to the south to a different area... Glad i Did Payed off for us!!! First drop No life But on the second drop we had a Nice shot of codfish ( So nice to see 2 Miles From the beach) Most were shorts But some nice action... we caught around 25 Cod and 7 were keeper size!!! Then after we picked the codfish the we started to get some blackfish Bites... Reel Ron started it off with a Nice Keeper... Started to Build some life.. It wasnt good But we Began to pick away on crabs.... Picked and Plucked around until we had a 6 man Limit! Not a Good Bite But considering the morning and yesterday it was a Nice way to end the season!!!

By days end the guys wound up with a 6 Man Limit of Blackfish... 25 or so Codfish with 7 Making it to the Box and Everyone also had a Limit of Stripers to take Home. almost forgot the Lone Ling:)

Great Day with an Awesome Fun Crew always a pleasure to have you guys aboard!!! Thanks Again Guys!!!

Nice catch Monger. Had buddy out last week out of Barnegat and they had 30 cod. Great to see those fish coming back strong the last few years.

Just got in from my second day striper action and wanted to say thank you to Greg for the invite, Jerry and Wayne for their usual extra, extra extra effort to finish the day with a limit and the others mentioned who rounded out an excellent crew to fish with. If you have not fished the "Monger" yet they you cannot appreciate the entire package.

Thanks for everything, time to shower and sleep.
