Macs and Whiting

[Fun King]

Once I threw a burlap sack full of whiting in the trunk of my car. Just once. Almost had to get rid of the car it stank so bad.

Maybe take ride over to Belmar and see if the Capt Joe II has enough fares to sail, if not head over to the Norma K

Eastman's had an unbelievable mackerel run last summer. They run 1/2 day trips on one of their party boats July & Aug. Whiting are run on 6 pack charters. I go once every summer and it's usually non stop catching. Captain can do 1/2 day ling/whiting and finish with haddock or all day ling & whiting. Your smoker will be running into October from a day & a half up there.

Definitely fond memories here. My first time fishing on a party boat as a kid was for macks out of Sheepshead Bay. I caught 8 that day, brought home in my burlap bag. I remember my Mom cleaning them in the kitchen sink, and she broiled them for dinner that evening.
As for whiting, I’ve actually seen a few more come up on ling trips. All have been small.

Or just hit Long Branch fishing pier in January. They are all good for night whiting.

Now those were the days!!!!!!!
