Day and Night Fishing Report by Larry Leary

Posted on June 30, 2019 by kelli

With lovely weather and favorable winds, my grandsons and I went out of Little Egg inlet and fished yesterday oceanside. We covered a lot of ground and only came up with 1-keeper fluke – a beauty at 23-1/2”. We also caught
2 ling and 3 small bluefish which were blitzing at the inlet. Hopefully the fluke bite will turn on soon.

The boys can never get enough fishing and went to the surf last night, They landed the ray shown and another shark.

Fishing Facts

Of the fifty United States, thirty-eight have a striped-bass record. New Jersey has the largest striped-bass record—a 78-pound 8·ounce whopper that was caught in 1982. The state with the smallest striped-bass record is Iowa. That landlocked striper weighed only 9 pounds 4 ounces and was caught in 1983.

There’s something fishy about beer these days. Fish Tail Ale is popular as ever, and New Jersey’s Flying Fish Brewery is one of the state’s largest specialty breweries. There’s also Washington’s Wild Salmon Organic Pale Ale, Florida’s Land Shark beer, Delaware’s Dogfish Head beer, and two versions of Stingray beer—a lighter version from the Cayman Islands and a dark beer from Canada.

The triangle fly is probably the most unusual of saltwater flies. It’s one of the few, if not only, flies tied to a treble hook. It’s also barely a fly at all, because hardly any material is used. It is complete after tying the two straw pearl twinkle flashes and the tiny tuft of natural squirrel, leaving an entire hook fully exposed. Incredibly this barebacked treble fly is a knockout when it comes to sea trout.
