CISP 1/3/04 Sunrise Report

[NIGHTSTRIKES]

Beautiful Morning Down On The Beach.....
Soaked In Every Minute of It,Because This Weather
is Not Going To Last....

Sunrise Revealed a somewhat calm surf and a
ClamBoat Dragging Just North of Corson's Inlet..
It was Working A Grid Back and Forth Just off
the Beach.A Few Boats Made a attempt fishing
behind her,but I did not see the Nets Go into
the water..Birds/Gulls were flying South...
I made several casts in some good looking spots
in the surfzone down by the old 59Th.St.Fishing
Pier,Water Temps was 45 Degrees...
A group from the FishLanders SurfFishing Club
was taking up residence closer to the Inlet.
Their SurfRods were all baited up with FreshClam
waiting for some takers..As of around 10am I did
not see anybody getting any action.And a few more
Surf Fishermen were just making their way to the
water as I left.....I might take another look
later today, its so nice out..........

Have A Great Weekend Everyone.....

Seals!!!! I think I'll start a Marine Mammal Stranding Center! Brigatine seems like a good spot! I hope nobody beats me to it! :rolleyes:

Strikes, I see you're already well rested. You may want to give the plugs & clams a rest and try a whole Mackeral. I bet them seals will really test the drag on that Van Staal!

We have been seeing Seals at the North end of Brigantine since November. Phil

A couple weekends saw a seal in TI. Laying out on the rocks until I walked by. No doubt it was a seal, so they are around.
