BL Reef 25 August by Dave Spendiff

With the favorable marine forecast of 2 ft or less seas, I wanted to fish the Barnegat Light Reef and locate and chart some nearby wrecks. So much for a plan! The seas were 3-5 ft and miserable to fish

Solo trip by Marty Friedrich on August 6

I headed out by myself this morning to Little Egg Reef and got my three Keepers – 181/2, 19 and a 23. What’s really surprising is that it only weighed 4 lb 1 oz but it was long and skinny gave a good

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.
