No pix, but FINALLY had my limit of 3.5 - 5lb fish, fishing some rubble off JI. 'Bout time!

Anyway, Had Capt. Mike Bady and KenScot aboard the Lep today for a full 3-man boat limit to 5lbs, fishing the deep drops. Nasty-ass day, but paying attention paid big dividends.

Nice Mike! What Mike didn't say was that those fish were all between 6 and 8.5lbs - now THAT is a quality one-man limit!

Sailed yesterday to the deep with Capt. Mike Bady and Kenscot - had a slow morning, but finished up fairly strong with six keeps to 5lbs. It was strictly an Ebb Tide bite - which has been the pattern thru this early part of the season, so far.

No fish-ing pix from our last trip to the deep on the Lep - as we had no real "sea monsters," but how's about panko & floured fluke, dressed with peas, red onions, tomatoes, artichoke hearts, garlic and salt & pepper? Freakin' delish! Ms. Lep did it again!

Had 3 hours to fish the afternoon to sunset a couple days ago out of Debs. We tried 60-70' depths and small hard bottom pieces. Couldn't get away from the Sea Bass. Caught about a dozen keeper sea bass and only scrapped together about a dozen short fluke.
A 7-keeper near limit to 5lbs today for Kenscot and I fishing the JI deep drops - just couldn't pull that last "boxer," and believe me, we tried! Pretty good catch nonetheless, on a lovely day offshore.
The better fish wanted the Salmon "worms' today - here's the fiver:
Kenscot is one photogenic dude, isn't he?

Big improvement in NJ ocean fishing this week. My team took 2nd place in Pt. Pleasant Elks fluke tourney with fish up to 8.5 pounds. Two interesting by-catches for me: a Ribbonfish (Cutlass Fish) and a 5' Dusky on my light spinner 😱 Missed first place (and a small fortune) by a mere 3 ounces !
