| Morning plans turned into an afternoon and evening trip when the trailer carrying the 21' Big Rippleskipper seized a brake cylinder on the way to the ramp. Blues patrolled and stole most of our fresh bunker off the bottom biting the tails with the second hook. Switching to steel leader and smaller chunks in a desperate move to land fish without running out of bait the waters off Keansburg gave up 2 34" stripers about 16.5# each and a mess of the pesky blues. No need for fluorocarbon leaders and fancy rigs. Hooting' and hollering' was heard all over the still waters of the bay as sunset rolled in it seemed nobody went without a catch. |

| Took the wife out for her first ever striped bass fishing trip out of Atlantic Highlands on Monday the 29th. Although it rained on and off, the birthday girl landed two keepers within the first hour. The largest going 18 Lbs.The boat limited out and the pool fish went 23Lbs. Not bad for a half day trip.She's ready to go back as soon as her arms stop hurting. |

| Fished Monksville Reservoir yesterday 4-26-13 - was anything but skunksville....
Missed a huge muskie by the bridge - lightning does strike twice in the same place as I didn't have a wire leader on - it bit thru the flourocarbon I had on - missed one just the same way 2 years ago - same rod & lure - the muskie hit a small black & silver Shad rap...
Then went to a cove with a Bass Assasin - hit 3 largemouths - good fights all of them - then something totally bit the rig off - right thru 15 lb. flouro - turtle - pickerel - another muskie ? - Who knows....
Action was good yesterday - so if anyone catches a muskie with a silver & black Rapala shad rap in its maw - that was mine...
Always use a wire leader up there - think I'll take my own advice for next time.... |

SALMON RIVER TRIP - Made the long drive up to Pulsaki, NY to try for some
spring chrome. The river ran super high - 2300 cfs when I started fishing Wed
4/10. Didn't get a bite all day - float fished & bottom bounced with egg /
glow bug flies, black stonefly nymphs, pink trout worms, trout beads -
everything - not a bite. Cold front came thru ( heavy rain ) Wed afternoon -
shut the fish off. Thurs 4/11 it snowed - hard - same deal. Alot of the
driftboat guides got skunked as well so I didn't feel that bad - left for home (
NJ ) Friday am - pouring rain & winds - hard driving down.If anyone goes /
planning to go up there - I would call Fat Nancy's Tackle shop up there - get
the real lowdown - these websites don't always give the correct info.Should've
stayed home and did my trout fishing here.... |

going. |

| I think by far, this was the worst start off to the winter flounder season, I really think they should change the season, I'm thinkin most of thr fish already started there way offshore, my opinion..... |

The park's manager, by the way, Ray
Bukowsi, quoted in that press release, who's been hard at work, is the captain
from Mushin
Sportfishing, Point Pleasant Beach, a charter on this site, seen in the
saltwater reports this past year. Mushin means a relaxed state of
readiness.--MMII |

| Been fishing the Musky out in Hackettstown by Saxton Falls - been killing the trout - and they are BIG - been out there the last month on weekends - been hitting big brookies & browns - all fish over 18" - missed a huge one in one of the deep pools - fish was huge...
All caught on a Rebel silver & black jointed minnow fished slow...
The fish are not hitting hard at all - but they are eating and when they bite and are hooked - they fight well.
Fishing UL rod with 4 lb. test w / flourocarbon leader. |
