Started out in seaside throwing needles on light tackle to the many short bass that have taken up residence at the beach, picked up 5 bass no bigger then 21" and missed many many more. The beach lips are chocked with these little guys, after a n hour of this I headed to the Toms river TCA. This is hands down one of the hardest rivers I have ever fished, it is littered with snags, tons of deep holes,the banks are covered with Briar, the water is tea colored asnd its only about 20' wide at best. Anyway walked about a mile throwing jigs and picked up 3 rainbows that have picked up the tea colored hue of the river.

Never hear much from the Toms TCA, not even from TU.
