Sandy Hook, New Jersey - Saltwater Fishing Report
Had real high hopes today, after the three day blow and the water/air Temps dropping figured it would be a good day for the bass. Yeah Right.
Was blowing a little NW this morning, clear and cool, water Temps 65......started at the rips around 0645 hrs....zippo...did have any hook ups nor did i see any other boat hook up. Shifted over t the clam beds, figured after the bottom churning up and the dredges ut there the Bass wuld be feasting.....again Zippo.....never saw a fish landed on another boat.
Went down to the Pipe, Zippo...
Shot back to between the channels, Skates, Dogs and Birds.......no Line Siders.....Finished on Flynn's and another Zippo.......
Took a second group out for and evening trip, Rips, nadda, Clam Beds Nadda, Worked the Reach, Nadda..........lts f time, effort and miles, ZERO.
Felt bad but also nticed no other fish landed near me either on Head Boats, Private Charters of Private boats......Go Figure
Had come accrss a few small pods of blues working bth on the outside and in the bay. Tried jigging, poppers, Storm Shads....nothing!!!!!!!
