[bunker dunker]

fished a ns out of point Saturday and never used a piece of bait all day.plain ava 27.took a little time to get it going but when it did it was good jigging.i had 13 big se bass and a bunch of shorts.all the ones I kept you didn't have to measure.fished sunday also and had only 4 keepers on the jig so I switched up to clam and boxed 6 more.jigged a blackfish around 6lbs on the jig also.

Thanks for the responses guys. Have a charter Friday with a sponsor boat and still deciding between fluke or seabass, if we go for seabass I'll just pretend I'm gulping/jigging for fluke. Will bring a few diamond jigs as well.

Chart, pink, white...any other colors I should be stocking?

there were some peeps using the 4" fin-s bodies above the jig that was working too.

Someone was using a green tailed A27 next to me and he got a couple of keepers with it yesterday out of Belmar. I never had much luck with the jig.

Will be out bright and early Saturday AM. Packing various jigs to play around with. Never done it before for Seabass. Clams of course as backup

Friends have had their keepers and shorts alike spitting up tons of sand eels. Hope the drift isn't too fast since I hear it's better to keep the jigs as light as possible especially to match the 3-4" sandeels.

Lets see how things go.
