I do not fish those areas but I do not fish far from it. Raritan Bay, Sandy Hook and Sea Girt Reef is the area we stick around. Stripers are hot! right now but we do enjoy fluking once the season starts.

 

[Don M]

I fish from shore.

This happened Oct. 5th Manasquan Inlet , that is just about the spot I fish in the summer. Now I'm hoping the don't put a rail up on the Point Pleasant side like the one on the Manasquan side.

Ugh. So it’s the wall’s fault.

 

[Don M]

LOL. The wall use to be about 4' high, now it's about 1'. First picture is my fishing buddy (my daughter)

I did a good amount of fishing in the Point Pleasant area but that all but stopped with COVID. Way early AMs, long drives, cold and WaWa subs long drives back. All worth it, some days.

What color was the other side my I ask

 

[MB3]

I'll gladly answer if I knew what you were asking lol

The color of the other side of the fluke or was it white on both sides

 

[MB3]

The color of the other side of the fluke or was it white on both sides

Ahh now I see lol No they are white on the bottom and a dark color on top to give them camouflage. Simple fishing, just bouncing bait or gulp off the bottom but when you get a doormat they bend the hell out of a rod.

 

[Don M]

I wasn't paying attention on a cast and caught this doormat, on spearing.

Maybe the other Don can recommend a good cooking method for that

This feels like a New Year’s Day in little Italy, with all the Dons around

 

[Don M]

When we fish together, we'll just say Don caught it.

 

[truecrimson]

You have to use your Don + your last names and an Italian accent.

Where do you put your boat in at?
