Thanks Rob!

Books I would suggest... on lures... Zeno's The Art of Surfcasting with lures is a great one. Also Skinner's Striper Pursuit... The Complete Guide to Surfcasting by Joe Cermele... An older but good one. Surf Fishing With the Experts by Muller. The Seminar is Saturday 9-11 am, hope to see you there!

Thank you!!

Thanks for watching. The jacket is a Grundens Gore-Tex Jacket that I got last year. It's a perfect shell with a nice hood and neoprene cuffs. I've had a lot of different jackets and this is one of my favorites, but it isn't cheap.

Thank you so much!

Thanks Robert. My first turned 5 a couple weeks ago. Lots of work but lots of joy, fun and love. See you soon.

Absolutely! Thanks for watching.

Huge thanks

Thank you

Thanks for checking in. Noah came on Tuesday 9/24. Both mom and bay are doing great.

Please check back on recent report videos as well as the more detailed report blog posts at FishingLBI.com - We had a great summer of light tackle striped bass action in the Barnegat Bay. These are resident schoolies which were a slightly larger size this summer from the past few. Seems to be more active too. Most all of my catches were fishing the flats with poppers as well as the sod backs with bucktail jigs. Also the rips and structures of the main thoroughfares were productive for me and others during the lower traffic periods of time and prime tidal windows. Hope that helps. If you need more assistance please stop in the shop.

@FishermansHeadquarters thank I'm a land based fisherman yea I have to talk with you definitely. I watch your reports all the time I know you can only cover so much in the video.

Thanks for your report. Walking with it and more actively fishing the rod is a very good way to bait fish a sweeping current. Some areas it's the only way.

That's a great view you got there but I'm sure you took a beating from Sandy with the south - southwest exposure. Would of been nice if years back LBT built that small pier another 100' out.

@@FishermansHeadquarters yeah I usually keep my boat right there but it’s out of the water for repairs now. We had to redo our entire downstairs after sandy and then lift the house it was rough. Yeah there’s a hole about 75 feet passed the pier and hold some smaller fish but fun kayak spot.

Thanks Roger. Not yet, but any day.

Thanks for your interest in the topic. I'll do my best to plan a zoom or some sort of live event.

Glad you enjoy them

Thank you. Until I get it rolling I can share a link to a three part blog series that I did.... fishinglbi.com/2022/08/23/nj-offshore-wind-fiasco-p2/ It has some of the same info but my slide show presentation has much more. I'll do my best to knock it out this fall. Maybe if we have a week of bad weather.

Thank you

Coming soon! But not soon enough.

Thank you

Yes that is normal. The reason it is designed that way is to optimize casting distance. If the level wind was driven during a cast it would cut back casting significantly.

@@FishermansHeadquarters Thank you

Your lures were good to me last year and many years in the past. They are a staple in my plug box. Thanks for making the good wood!

It's tough. When fishing offshore wrecks I go to larger baits, whole green crabs, half or whole white crabs. Sometimes it takes a lot of patience feeding the small ones. When the small critters are aggressive and thick it is very difficult as they just clean you off one bait after the next. Most likely there are too bigger fish in that spot. The millions of palm size tog at the inlet make it challenging.

You are welcome. Best of luck fishing this fall.

No one can look through a fishes eye but we can use our own eyes. Fluoro has a similar refractive index as water. There was a time when we had a glass box in the shop with water and 10-12 different lines stretched vertical through it. It was obvious to the human eye that fluoro was mush less visible than other nylon or copolymer mono lines. In the thinner tests the fluoro was near invisible. With regards to fishing not all applications require fluoro and I catch plenty of fish routinely on affordable mono like Ande Premium and Triple Fish. Been using Ande my whole life and have lots of confidence in it. However there are times were light fishing with fluoro is the only way to get a bite. It has its time and place.

"Fishing With Nat" has a video where he takes fluoro and mono of various strengths and puts them through different lighting scenarios underwater. What I saw is that there's basically no difference as far as visibility is concerned. Abrasion resistance seems to vary wildly so the only reliable upside I see to fluoro is that it usually takes a few pounds more to begin stretching, but that also makes a lot of sense when you consider that fluoro is known to become brittle in certain conditions. Unless you rely on your lines for income then mono is probably the better choice. Tons of people absolutely slay their local waters spooling endless amounts of Big Game
