IBSP 11/14

My nephew has been asking me to take him surf fishing so I took him to the Park on Mon for his birthday.

The weather was cooperating with a SW wind at around 15mph and gusts around 20 to 25mph. And got up to 63 degrees.

Started at the north end at daybreak and had 3 fish from 20in to 27in. 2 on metal and 1 on clam.
After the bite slowed we took a ride to the inlet to show him the beaches and fished the way back on the last of the outgoing.

We got a little north of the entrance at A7 and I decided to fish a break in the bar there. Had no hits for about 1 1/2hrs till all of a sudden the bite started up again and we had 5 fish in about 1 1/2hrs then it turned off again.
Fish hit both metal (T-Hex & AVA with teasers) and clam. Also missed a few fish that day that came unbuttoned and not landed.
Took one keeper for him to take home for dinner.
It was a great day and he really enjoyed it. So did Uncle Chuck.









and I caught to



This seemed to be what they were feeding on and lots of them around now. These bass are real fatties.

...well it seems like it was worth the trip !!!!

...aside from having the influence to get a blue bird day ...

...how did you manage to reserve the WHOLE beach for yourself ?!?!?!?


...Old Man aka Bob

Thats a great bithday nice job guys!

It was easy Bob, I called in a report of large bass blitzing at a north Jersey jetty. And I could hear the cell phones ringing all up and down the beach
And every one ran

Good stuff Charlie!

hay chaz...........slick move ..........glad ya had a good time excellant trip good birthday present for the kid

nice job charlie. pm me about the spot i had alot of trouble last time finding very much structure. went south of A7 and it changed alot in a week.

charlie, ever use sandeels for bait? i was wondering if a bass would hit a rigged one. i was thinking of using a fluke rig type of setup with 2 hooks snelled to 1 line and hook them twice. any thoughts?

Nice Charlie!

Great report - and awesome photos!

I tried a sand eel last week and immediately got a hit! Unfortunately, it was a fluke not a striper, LOL

I am sure that a rigged sand eel would work great

thanks capt. i want to change it up this fall. gonna try some. i would assume the bait shops would still have frozen sand eels. getting tired of bunker and mullet, and sand eels are around now so we will see.

Way to catch em up Charlie, congrats to you and your Neph.!!!
