Catch one of the 140 that I tagged in NJ. Only one was recaptured while 3 of the 28 fluke that I tagged in Manasquan Inlet last year were recaptured this year.

I went through a lot of tags this year, almost exclusively on seabass and fluke. I did get one back in August this year from a fluke I tagged in July. It had moved 5 miles offshore from where I tagged it. Your windowpanes and some of the fluke are scooped up by draggers and the tags are never returned. Although I've had a few tags returned from a couple of netters from ( You guessed it) Hudson Canyon.

Back on topic.........Leaving the dock on those crispy, cold predawn mornings, searching for tell-tale canopies of birds over schools of hungry bass and breaking out the jigs.

A 50-degree day in late November with just enough breeze to set the anchor nicely over a prime spot, 20-foot visibility water, family fishermen aboard and hungry blackfish below.

Always a good fall song.

You’re right. My only windowpane flounder fish tag return was from a NMFS observer on a scallop boat.

Running and Gunning after false albies
A quieter launch ramp
Last shot at some big blues/stripers before the long cold winter sets in
