As always i took time off work starting 6/23 for opening day sea bass and my crew- dad and my son- are counting down the days!!!!

Once again Pete sorry to hear about Casey. It's a tough thing to go through. I had a blast fishing you guys, as usual. I still think we should have asked the Captain of the freighter to get off of our spot 😉. I'd also like to mention that we need to update our sea bass regs. There's no doubt more fish were killed by the dozen boats or so than if the season was open. We had to catch and release 50 huge sea bass. Had we been able to keep our 3 fish limit we would have killed nine and left.

Headed out with Brian/Flukerr this morning - right to my fav early-season drop. No problem putting together a limit of plus-sized biscuits, with many, many fat keepers returned - the 3 fish/man limit is absurd, vs what our neighboring States get away with. Anyway, I stuck with GULP! on the ball jighead and did very well on the big blueheads.
Though we pulled a half dozen or so short fluke, this wasn't the fishing we were looking for, so we moved to a different piece of hard bottom, for a ton more quality biscuits, some fat ling - and another 10 or so fluke - with Brian pulling three fat 4 to 5+lb class keepers on consecutive drifts, using the big Pink Worm. I got shut out on the keepers - just the way it went today.
Anyway, good to see an up-tick in the fluking - I'm sure after this coming weekend's blow and the 90-deg plus temps forecast for next week the fishing will really kick into gear.
. . . and another one bites the dust!” ?

"Luck" is when preparation meets opportunity.
I prefer fishing evolution to fishing extinction.
If ya want to clean up the water, ya gotta get the pigs out of the creek.

I was out fluking for the first time this season in NJ this Thurs on a PB out of Manasquan. Been waiting for all the PB to stop massacring those knotheads. Hope there are a few left to breed! Weatherman said E wind up to 20kt and it was like a lake until noon. BEAUTIFUL, PEACEFUL day on the water. Casted around on slack first thing picking up a few bsb and robins for my efforts. Switched from copper bucktail (ling around) to white and started getting some short fluke. Had a few fouled in the middle that took some runs and had me pretty excited. Got to test out a new rod and it performed well on the first trip. Even swung my only keeper of the day without any issues (mate was ocupado). Fished next to a nice local fellow and found out it was his bday. The fluke didn't cooperate for him this day, so I gave him mine. Bad news is that I got bit by the bug, and now I gotta get up early tomorrow am to look for a sea monster. Tight lines all!

This inlet is gonna kill someone, again this season. Have you seen that derelict bay buoy that's sitting in the channel, almost parallel to the jetty's tip? What will it take for the USCG to get it out of there?

I've been on Leps boat as he navigated the inlet . . .if you can call it that? It is scary. But this isn't anything new around Long Island. There are many dangerous inlets around the island, and Jones is playing out the same.

I couldn’t wait to get out of there this spring.

In the spirit of posting reports, good OR bad - the fish did not bite worth a damn yesterday. Capt. Mike, KenScot and I pounded the grounds for the entire day, totaling three keeps to 4lbs, probably 30 shorts and a limit of biscuits. A very, picky bite - super tentative pickups. It really didn't firm up and resemble a real fluke bite 'til we were a half hour from leaving. Of course. Maybe they bit elsewhere, but it didn't sound like they did, from the radio and close friend reports.
I dunno if it was the drop in salinity from the big rains, a turbidity question, temp, or some other reason or combination thereof, but it was real slow. It will improve as the water warms a bit more and the fish get into their Summer feeding thing. Beautiful day on the offshore grounds though - if that counts for anything. (It doesn't in my opinion - unless the fish bite.) ☹️
