This is my first fishing post... Let see if I can be like Fred fish...
Up @ 2am, on the pier @ 4:05, water just starting to ebb tide... Air temp was in low 70s... We were all alone, so we setup mid-span and got at it with frozen squid as bait.
I'm going to shorten this story... Many hours later, 11am, we packed it in... We caught 2 dogfish & 3 spider crab. Other anglers, all arrived after us & left before us, had better luck with sand&blood worms.
When we left, the air temp was 88deg.
Bottom line... I still enjoyed the day...

Glad to see you're getting out Dt. I've never fished in that area. I would think there should be some Bluefish and Stripers in the area. Maybe throw a Popper or Kastmaster, while you're soaking bait. Good job on the report.

That's what counts. There's a gorgeous park on the other side of the bay my nephew took me to when he was stationed there on the USS Providence. Can;t remember the name but will ask it you're interested.
