Swell, what swell?

Fished aboard the Angler today with a super lite crowd and man did the weatherman blow it again. Beautiful day on the water with drop and reel fluking. Had the entire stern to myself lol.

Perhaps you had some shelter from the hook? Couple other party boats even mention there was a "pretty large heave" until late morning, which turned the fishing off...

I was out today on a private boat & it was very windy. We got our butt's kicked tackle box's flying etc. We also caught a lot of drop reel shorts but we did manage a keeper though. I feel for the private boat owners it was not worth it by any standards for them. I need Advil right now you were on a big boat a big difference with a great capt & crew. Conditions may have been good for you but it wasn't for us. We fished everywhere from Hoffman's to the hook & it was never nice at all from 7 AM to 2pm.

Due to the angle of the southeast swell from hurricane cristobal, the large swell doesn't make it into that sandy hook area. The swell might be 10 ft in manasquan & only 3ft in sandy hook. All related to "corner of land" made between sandy hook & Long Island.

NJBILLFISH you haven't a clue. We fished in the ocean 2 miles off the beach and there was no swell. Last night I posted the following. The weatherman is killing the shore with his BS about dangerous ground swells. We had much worse seas last week than today. NW winds for tomorrow should be ideal. This is the fishing we wait for all year.

I knew where the fish were and I also knew that wind against the tide is ideal conditions. The fishing couldn't be better. If you fished on a boat that had big swells today you belong with njbillfish for you also don't have a clue.

LOL

Are you serious?

That 10' swell was about 30 seconds apart and spread out -- truly LONG PERIOD not even close to being a heave...

To the captains. How do you expect to get fares when you bash the guys? Just don't comment.
