How'd you guys make out. The J2 sailed and we caught a ton of sea bass, 20 - 1 shorts to keepers but we did catch all day long. Got porgies also, was a fair trip I would say.

Sorry about the late response I wound up with 12 sea bass
And 15 porgies has the same problem with shorts until
I went to 8/0 hooks. The bluefish were very annoying all
Day. I think the offshore waters are stil too warm I hope
When I head out on December 22 the water will have cooled off
A bit. But all things considered was a great trip great boat great
Crew. Can’t wait to get out again

How was the success overall on the boat, and what was the avg size of your keepers? Ours were about barely 13".

[BugEye Chris]

I was probably on the high side of the average almost everyone
Had sea bass and porgies and too many bluefish. The fish I kept were
All legit no measure needed fish. But the range was from barely
Legal to about 5 pounds. Some although had a tough time with
Shorts

Anywhere to buy squid after business hours around the fisherman's supply dock area?

Many supermarkets have cartons of frozen squid in the seafood section. It's way less expensive than the tackle shops.

I get a lot of bait from Shoprite seafood section
