Point Pleasant Blackfish

[gypsy]

Needed to get out of the house and let my mind wander, left PA with my son at 4 am, stopped and got 3 dozen green crabs in Hazlet, got to the inlet at daybreak, tide was high, took a while but got my 1 keeper just over 15", and a few shorts, lots of fisherman, was surprised at how many, guess I have a lot to learn about black fishing, tried jigs, no luck, lost a ton of hooks, and sinkers. We stayed along the wall, rocks were slippery going out on the jetty, saw a woman take a pretty good fall. They were dredging the inlet, water was off color, stayed till 2:30 and left, gave away about 1/2 dozen crabs. Stopped off at Keyport fishery and had Flounder sandwiches, grabbed some platters to take home. May try it again soon before I go in for surgery, a long day for me just getting done with chemo, was wiped by the time we got home. But it was good to get out, oh on a side note, phone dropped out of my hoodie into the river, had a scuba diver come along trying to get rigs, told him about the phone, took a few minutes but he found my phone and still works, lol. Have a question, should you go light as possible with the weight/jigs or heavy so your offering doesn't move as much with the tide. On a side note the guy next to me tried clams and got 2 fluke which surprised me
