Took a day off yesterday to get out on the water before this weekend's storm. Haven't been out probably since late June/early July. :eek:
Fished with Jeff on buddy Roy's boat. Got out at first light and took a ride down the beach to the Long Branch area. Got into some excellent fall striped bass fishing. Found a big body of fish and we were the only boat out there. It was insane as the fish were very aggressive. Got a couple on crocs but switched over to pencil poppers and other topwater lures Great site watching at least five 25 lb fish chasing after your top water lure. Tails smashing, fish jumping out of the water trying to grab it. If one missed it another one was right there. We must have caught 20 -25 bass before they broke up and a fleet developed. Kept a couple for dinners and released the rest.
Finished the day anchored up on the reef. I chose to seabass while they went to blackfish. I got 4 keepers and many shorts before switching over. Blackfishing started slow but we had a good bite around 1 and lasted about an hour. We boxed the boat limit to 5 lbs, plus shorts before heading in. Great day on the water!!
