Re: Your Worst Day of Fishing
Fished the Resor a few years back during a hot August daytime chunk yellowfin bite. Went 0 for 8 on solid yellowfins. As good as the action was, hands down worst day of fishing due to coming home empty.

Re: Your Worst Day of Fishing
A couple years ago I got invited to do a January tog trip on the Steel Leader by T. The owner had moved his boat from Brielle to his home somewhere around Silverton. We headed south early only to find that the 37 bridge is not manned after 1/1, you need to call 6 hours ahead, if you need the bridge opened. We turned around and headed north to the canal. 4 guys climbing like monkey to take down the out riggers and antenas, so we could get under the bridges. So-so day of fishing and we headed back to Barney, because the captain now had the bridge master's phone number. And we run aground on a sand bar. After some negotiations from 7 captains on board that have coverage with TowBoat USA they agreed to help us. They were docked 200 yards away. After an hour, they got us free and the bridge guy had hung out for 3 hours to let us back under. 22 our tog trip, home to home

Re: Your Worst Day of Fishing
I don't want to name names...but years ago, we took a party boat out of a Southern NJ inlet for stripers/blues in late Oct. and an inexperienced captain (boat still operates, with a great reputation, but the capt. is different) drove us all the way up to the Flynn's Knoll area of the Raritan Bay. The boat caught exactly 2 bluefish and spent most of the day beyond the 3 mile line. It was a 3/4 day trip, but thanks to our sightseeing cruise, we got back to the dock at 6pm.
The only reason I am inclined to give this person/boat any slack is I think it was early in the season, the year following Sandy. Things were weird and the fish were scarce (particularly in his backyard), but at some point I think you just have to make a call that it's not happening for you instead of chasing a bite 30+ miles away. Runners up: - Snapping a new surf rod on my first fish (8 lb blue) on it last year - Multiple early spring Raritan Bay surf trips where the fish had lock jaw and I lost many, many lures.
