Fathers Day

Capt Ken Jones of Kenjo Flies asked me to fish on fathers day with him and his dad on sweatpea. We hit our usual spots and there wasnt much going on so we went south looking for warmer water and some possible tuna action. As we headed west back towards NJ we found the motherload of bunker schools. Schools so big it looked like a never ending river of bunker. With the occasional blowup on the bunker we chased these fish for miles. When bait is that plentiful it can definately be tough getting fish to eat your offering. It was only fitting that Kens father hooked the new record fish for the boat. The bass bottomed out the 30lb boga. After a few pictures she was put back in the water and swam away nice and strong. Putting these breeding size fish back to see another day is more important than ever with the amount of pressure put on these fish. It was another great down out on the water and an honor to share the memories are boating that large bass with ken and his dad. Enjoy the pics!

Not much to post lately. Ive been hitting the breezy point jetty the last couple of weeks and caught a few small fish but not much going on. Fished during the thunderstorm this past saturday and saw a nice group of diving birds in the same spot i always seem them near the shipping channel. Ill be out this weekend with Capt Ken so hopefully i will have a update with lots of pictures and video!! On another note, i recieved my first native fish for my aquarium today. I now have 2 grass pickerel!! Upon dumping them in the tank one grabbed the first minnow it saw which was over half the size of the pickerel. I think these things will fun to observe. Check them out...
