5/15

Started fishing at 6:00 friday night. I caught about 12 herring and head north. First pitch I Drift a herring and pick up a 33 inch bass instantly, drifted the strecth one more time no pick ups. I anchored up in one of the main slots and live lined and chunked. With in 10 minutes I picked up a 31 inch bass. I move about 50 yards towards jersey and acnhored again. Fished about 25 minutes and l picked up one bass on a chunk it ended up being a fat 30 inch hybrid bass, my first to date. Move once agian back towards the center, the sun was down and the bite got hot. I put out three rods, one live and two chunk baits. The herring got no hits but the chunks baits were get torn up. I caught 6 fish on chunk bait in the time span of about an hour and half. The 6 fish consisted of a 36 incher that ran like a freight train, a 33 incher, two 31 inchers, a 30 incher, and a whopper that measure 19 inches. It was a perfect night for fishing at Trenton everything came together. The perfect tide, weather, and a great Striper bite. I don't know how long the bass and herring will stay at Trenton but if want to get out on the bite Give Me a call 215 840 3093
