Actually, Steli & I fished two days down there on two different boats. out of Cape May! Wednesday, on a CC , with Steli, Will, OMG, Hoffman, Alex MVP, Max Berry, & Steve, Boat Limit! Will had a 15# slob for a new PB! Had my limit early and we got into C & R mode, a flat calm day on a center console, in January? We actually "Hovered" over a wreck on the last stop, as wind conditions were non-existant, and we caught until we ran out of crabs.

Thursday, with, Stelios Gatanas, Kurtis Berry, Eric, Chris Flamini, & Capt. Chad. Again Boat limit, with 7 fish over 10 pounds, up to an 18.5lb. fish for Kurtis. While I didn't have a DD Tog, I did manage to catch my limit + on my brand new rod. And again a fair weather day in January?

You are correct, Steli did not use a jig to catch his fish, actually I believe only 2 guys fished jigs & they are both pictured. Kurtis' slob was also caught the "old" way, and what a fish it was! While I did want to try the jig, I continued to use my new rod in hopes of catching a double digit fish to check the action on the blank. Never got the DD (actually rolled a few) but I did manage some nice roasters and for me to have a limit + on both days is just fantastic, can't wait to get back down there!
