Went fishing 🎣 in Manasquan Inlet this evening on the outgoing tide in the rain during a small craft advisory south wind. An old guy was fishing to the left of my spot. Saw three fishermen catch a small bluefish further out on the jetty before the fisherman to my left caught and released a big bluefish on a plug. After a lot of fishermen started fishing 🎣 to my right, I went out towards the end of the jetty. A young fisherman hooked a 35.5” striped bass with a plastic minnow in the ocean and I let his friend use my gaff to land it. After he threw it into the inlet, I caught, tagged and released a 33” 15.5” girth bluefish with my brother John’s very old prism taped diamond jig. I’m applying for a NJ Skillful Angler Recognition Award 🥇.

Good morning and Happy Hump day!
This is a double Hump Day since we're ½ way through the week and also ½ way through the month of May.

59° outside this morning and heading to 70° this afternoon with more rain... blah, blah, blah....
Did I mention it's gonna rain today??

I'm taking a load of scrap to recycle this morning, I'll haul a few tons of limestone gravel back for under unit bases and holes in the driveway. I'll be helping a good friend this afternoon with a couple of his garage doors he's been having trouble with.

My Hearing

After completing his annual physical on a patient, the doctor asked if there was anything that was bothering him. Joe replied, "Yeah, my hearing."

The doctor examined Joe's ear and removed some ear wax. He then asked Joe if his hearing was better.

Joe said, "I don't know, the hearing isn't till next Tuesday."


Enjoy your day folks!
