pt. pleasant 9-4-11

Fished the area around the train bridge in the manasquan from 5:30-9:00 am. Almost low tide, dirty water, didn't look good. The fish didn't care. They were scattered, but were hitting baitfish on the surface here and there. Picked up 4 bass and 2 blues on poppers and swimmers. When the tide slowed, tried for Tog. A slow pick of small tog and trash fish first. When the tide went slack at dead low it was on! Caught 6 in 30 minutes that went 13"-14.5". Kept my one fish for lunch. Would have stayed on them but the wife wanted me back home. I was gonna try my luck at Nummy and fish with a few of you, but the last minute reports discouraged me. How did everybody do?

Glad to hear that you got on some fish.

The best report I can offer is that we should have been fishing up there with you. It was dirty and blowing a gale!

We caught steady SeaBass, Smooth Doggies, and short Fluke. Seaflea was the star this weekend with his 18" fat Fluke.
