Yes there are a few guy in the area. I live in Ocean View and fish the inlet alot. Also go to Holt's Landing and sometimes the surf at 3R's.
If you have ever any seen John Skinner videos, he uses bucktails carried by J & H Tackle. That guy catches a lot of fluke in the NY area.
Nice catch GF. What's your legal size in NJ?
Fishing with my cousin out of the Indian River Inlet in Delaware. Ran his boat out about 8 miles in the Atlantic to 80 feet of water.
In Delaware the legal limit is 16 1/2 inches with a four fish catch limit. We caught several right at the 16 1/2 inch limit but released them for the reason you described in your post, shrinkage. As you can see in the background of the picture, Natural Resource Police were waiting at the dock and were measuring every fish. Happy with our decision!
Thanks "d". It's gotten very crowded here and the fish are not as plentiful as they once were. Still fun to get out and wet the line.
Ha ha talk about crazy! That was pretty amazing. They were checking every boat and every fish for size and limits. Never saw it like that before.
Two 2oz jigs in a high/low fashion. The top one had a 4 inch salmon red swimming mullet and the bottom one had a white six inch swimming mullet. Caught a few short ones too.
Thank you. Jigging a 6 inch Gulp swimming mullet with a squid trailer.
