should I stay, or should I go!

[shrimpman steve]

Boat is ready (still needs one or two tweaks, but it is sea worthy and safe), weather looks great for saturday! But there is nothing to fish for. flounder reports suck, very few bass yet, and blackfish are still too far out for my little boat.

Do I put her in the water tomorrow and just screw around, or wait another week or two? I am torn. any advice?

[The Sinker Man]

GO FOT IT.. Water is warming up...You can't catch anything sitting at home.

[spyro]

that's a sound track ... :cool:

Don't not much going on. It is not worth the rush.
Fine tune it tommorow 57 degrees. Wax it up, test electronics, ect.
Clean the back yards winter mess.
Enjoy Easter Sunday and your last weekend home to relax.
Next weekend it will begin, trout, trout, and more trout which will then fade into sprig blackfish trips and then fade to bass fishing.
Take this warm weekend to organize your gear.
Me, I'll be in the garage gearing up the kayak, checking rod guides, reloading the trout vest, ect.
Preperation is key.

Def a go flounder fishing in the bay take a nice little cruise around anchor up and catch those flatties

[SaltyAngler]

I'd go for it. (not alone naturally) The safest way to work out any kinks would be on the bay or in the Navesink and it's never too early to get a line wet.

Steve REMEMBER reports are not always what they appear to be.

[LegalEyes]

Every hour I'm out on the water I'm learning things and becoming a better captain. If you don't "care" about the fuel burn and just want wind in your face...go. (I'm itching, but the boat isn't ready yet)

[shrimpman steve]

Are there any open ramps in the river if not what is the closest open ramp to the river

[AndyS]

MAKE reports, don't just sit and READ reports !!

[SaltyAngler]

MAKE reports, don't just sit and READ reports !!

What boobalah said...lol

What's a report anyway other than one person's experience?

[shrimpman steve]

MAKE reports, don't just sit and READ reports !!
Paaaleeeease. You are talkin about the wrong person:D

[shrimpman steve]

Ok. So I was leaning towards giving it a shot but can't find a ramp. Called zubacks and browns and no return phone calls. Don't want to drive down and have no place to launch.

[Joey Dah Fish]

Did u call Leonardo ? Try some bass fish way inside !!!!!!!! I will be cleaning our boat tomorrow :)

[jerseyhunter]

Maybe try Shrewsbury Rks. and see what comes up? Just a suggestion if your Jones'n. Could produce some ling or a keeper cod. Worse case scenario is you find out what's wrong with it, if any. JMO.

[Capt. Lou]

There a public ramp back in the Shrewsbury , think it's Northport section located in a park , vicinity of channel club sedge Is area I believe.
Call the sponsor sport shop located in Red Bank he"ll know!
Might be good flounder spots back there as well !

[chefsamg19]

I agree if u r lucky enough to have a boat and live close, f ya I would go and wet my whistle, get familiar with the boat as it sounds like u just got it.. Good luck and b safe

Hit free ramp in forked river. Power plant area is giving up tons of small bass and a keeper here and there

[Clam Strings]

Oyster creek Steve they have a new boat launch area anchor up and clam for bass and use worms for flounder

[SaltLife1980]
