Ed Whitney Charter Sandy Hook Bass
Well, some days were not meant to be and today unfortunately turned out to be one of those days for the Ed Whitney charter from Asbury Park N.J.. Left the Highlands super early to start fishing this holiday before the boat traffic started. Headed to our spot which had produced alot of fish the last 3 trips. On the spot started marking fish right away on the incoming tide. Rod goes off and after a short fight a nice 4 lb Blackfish is released. Got a nice slick going and the next rod goes off....after a 10 min battle, Caryn Whitman PULLS IN HER FIRST STRIPED BASS....A NICE 17LB FISH.! That was going to be it for the bass cooperating today....tried to wait out the tide change but impatience got the better of me and the charter decided to finish off the day Fluke fishing.....and to our dismay....even that was very slow fishing today. Water Temp was 65.1 at the edge of the bay today on incoming tide.
Congrats again Caryn!
