Final Fluke Day by Marty Friedrich
September 4th was the last fishable day of the fluke season in the ocean. With three friends on board, we had a good day of fishing with many throwbacks and seven keepers. I had my 3 fish limit with the largest 22 inches. We also had…
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…
