Late Sunday 5/16 report
Finally got to splash the Grateful Dad this weekend, so I headed out with Pete, Kenny and Brayden. Based on some intel from a hungover, baitless, beerless sharpie, I ran out to a likely spot in 75-80 feet of water down the Sandy Hook channel. Conditions were great and we were pretty much alone, so we were able to drift with no problem. Got into a bunch of nice big ling, and a few keeper seabass, including a real nice knucklehead, shown in the rare GD photo.
Nice day on the water with a good crew.

Re: Late Sunday 5/16 report
Great catch and good timing I think?
I was out Oceanside 3-5 miles off Hook and down the beach by the Highland Bridge about 16:00 and later on Sunday. Rolling 2-3' bunched up with strong S to SE winds. I assume you were gone by then? You are one tough guy calling that "great" conditions.  It wasn't death defying, but not exactly ideal either. A little too sporty for the 19 foot jet boat out of gas I went to find with no GPS. I rounded Hook about 1800 and there were a dozen boats clustered i/f/o Earle. Quote:

Re: Late Sunday 5/16 report
You DID do the right thing. The guy I went out to tow 4 miles off Highland Bridge was not anchored and had no GPS . He ended up blown up by Ambrose approach buoys when I found him.
They we bunched up but not big. But heading south was bouncy and wet ( sounds like an old girl friend I had). Quote:

Was next to 2 guys on SHR Saturday in a 14 ft aluminum with a nine-nine. IDK maybe I’m just getting old but that’s ballsy IMO.
