Headed out with Hank & Danny for my first time on the new boat & it is freaking gorgeous. Had a wild crew Tony Triggs & Joey Jigs & there kids, Mr. Bates & Mr. Birch, my cousin rick, Brian, Briian & Butter rounded out the crew.

Started looking for Striped Catfish in the bunker. We were able to land 1 @ 29lbs. Tried a little more but no takers but more & more b@$$holess. Steamed north off of Long branch started a slow pick of BIG sea bass some mountain trout. Fish were like ice & very slugish. Size was there but just not the numbers. Hank fished every rock,reef,wreck I think there is within 3 miles of the beach from Long Branch to Mantaloking but just couldn't get it to happen. Ended with 50 ling & sea bass combined. Weather was perfect just the water was bitter cold. New boat is amazing! Fast,comfy, only issue is no radio yet but that should be rectified soon! Hank & Danny worked there asses off as always to try & make it happen it just wasn't meant to happen today hopefully this east blow pushes some warmer water in.

It's amazing how the Monger's success raises the bar for what constitutes a good trip. A 29lb bass and 50 ground fish in most people's books would be a great day of fishing but I guess that's not the case here. Crazy how expectations shape perspectives!!
