How about a good day of fall fluking or bluefin 5 miles out of Barnegat Inlet in the 70's

From those endless fall nights fishing on top of the highlands, seabrite, and the oceaniac bridges for stripers you guys all know who you are if you have ever fished these bridges back when we all could... To about 18 or so years ago myself and buddy going to belmar nailing weak fish both in the back of the river and the inlet as well fishing all night long for them than renting a boat in shark river and coming home with a cooler full of weekies and fluke driving home on the parkway with my eyes closed only to do it all over again the next night definitely a lot of fun

Heated hand rails from Atlantic Highlands to Brielle and burlap bags full of baseball bats

Remember going whiting fishing with my father on the magic hour boats. Not quite sure either Belmar or Point P. That was when I was 8 or 9 now I'am 69 so
you can do the math. They use to light the outside rail lights with matches no electric. Good fishing and the best with a west wind.....
