Winter skate
Went fishing 🎣 on the Manasquan Inlet, NJ, north jetty this evening on a warm, cloudy day with a light northwesterly breeze and incoming tide. Saw bait fishermen on the dolos catch windowpane flounder and spiny dogfish. I caught, tagged and released a 25” 4 lb 10 oz winter skate in the ocean on a plain hook Ava A-17. Lost a fish 🐠 on my next cast for the final action of the day. A cast netter caught spearing and sand eels in the inlet at night under the lights. The Point Pleasant squid 🦑 netters were using their underwater green light. I took pictures.

Re: Winter skate
Bands I never realized at this time of year with colder water temperatures squid were inshore. I've caught a lot of herring and hickory shad on shabiki rigs on the wall at that turn this time of year during the day but never squid. Interesting.
I know there's been previous posts about this in past so apologies for re-asking the question but are windowpane flounder or sundials as they we're commonly called years ago good to eat? |
