North of the rocks 12/8

[makorider]

Ran south from Squan into a barren sea, turned around at south Mantoloking and continued driving without a bird to be seen.

Finally found it going off north of the rocks quite a way off the beach. Lots of birds, lots and lots of shorts on both jigs and topwater.

One keeper at 32# on a jig

Nice job G-

Was that one keeper at 32", or 32 lbs? Nice fish if it was a 42", 32 lber.
I gave up after the snow and pulled my boat last week.

We had them pretty good up there today and yesterday...
Yesterday, 4 keepers with over 50 fish caught on the jig incuding a bunch of big blues between four guys.
Today between 2 of us we had 30 shorts on the top and bottom with swimmers, poppers, and jigs.

Yeah, pounds Jim, and yes, you got it, 42". You told me you hauled at the breakfast last week....we called it quits and put her on the trailer this afternoon.

Thats a nice fish G., nice way to end it. Yeah, I saw the 10 day forecast, and decided to haul when I saw snowflakes coming. Probably get a nice spell of warm weather and calm seas now that we're both out. Time for me to hit the rodshop for a few months....keep me sane until spring. :eek:
