First off let me start by saying the main Bio-mass is no longer local, those fish are now down around the Shark River reef and South.
We are left with some of the local fish that hang around a bit longer as long as they still have a little something to eat, and that is getting thin.
The past two days the fish we have been catching, their stomachs have been empty.
The East wind has never been my friend and today was no different, we caught fish, some did better than others but you had to fish hard to get it done. Bill V. and Big Tom were High hooks with 8 & 6 fish each. Few guys had 3 and 2 but they worked their asses off to get it done. I constantly moved to stay on top of the small readings we had to catch a couple a drift. No, it was not easy.
We also had to stay on the nasty bottom loosing many jigs, I tried a couple times to go deeper but there were no fish there. Today may have been the swan song for us, I will see what the weather holds for Friday through the weekend then make my decision. I will never beat a dead horse. We have had another good season, if I think we can get it done by Sunday we will shape up, if not, Thank you to all who have fished with me, Joey, Kyle, Tuna, Joe and Robbie. You guys and gals are the best!!
