A+!

[@FinnNbonesFishing]

Nice job 👍

[@FishYourWay]

Thanks 👍

[@dannydanielsnyc]

Thats my pier ! I missed ya!

[@FishYourWay]

Next time, I dig the walk there, not too many people are willing to walk which is cool if you like to walk

[@killajakez]

Was there on Monday. 4 spots between 3 people in 3 hours. looks like you did OK. Wish the porgies were around .

[@FishYourWay]

Yea they up and down thick and thin moving seems but the consistency and volume is incredible

[@dannydanielsnyc]

They overfished the porgies for years . Think the receipts are coming in 😢

[@FishYourWay]

@@dannydanielsnyc Id give it till sept seasons vary

[@FishGuts73]

Go Get’em Mr Ruff Spottie Pippen is all over the place if you ask me the new porgy now 😂

[@FishYourWay]

Luckily they the size of porgy! Who knows next year it may be lizard fish! I recall bumper years on them! I am surprised no big body of crazy blues found em trapped in there yet

[@secretjourney4815]

is that a Daiwa 7000C??? or is it a 5000? The 7000c was my first "real" reel back in 1987..... I still have it, and have a brand new one in the box still from 1989.... Thanks Jerry

[@FishYourWay]

2600C awesome reel totally dig it! In 87' I had a Ryobi Silver Cloud may still have it somewhere have to dig it out quite similar in construction

[@nikosawchunk5720]

Hey Jerry good news! The mackerels are being caught at west end by the jetty. Good size too!

[@FishYourWay]

Cool, going today!

Back in the late 80s and early 90s, if I had some free time, I would fish for these in the Newark Bay from Jersey City. I also just dug up earthworms from my backyard as bait. Saves a ton of money because bloodworms are expensive. These were also called Lafayettes by the locals. Some people call them Napoleons too when I saw them caught in Maryland. I never ate them. Just fished for fun and chucked them back in. I remember them being smaller than the ones you caught on this video though. These are great fun to fish if you have young kids who can at least hold a rod. Thanks for the video!

[@FishYourWay]

Wonderful story! They are a fish of sundry, a good fish for kids and old bastards alike. They can be live lined or cut and make an awesome bait as well either live lined or cut

[@1539Mickey]

Hi Jerry, Lots of spots on those blood worms. Looks like you hit a big school. Good luck, Mickey

[@FishYourWay]

Bloodworms worked great

[@jimwatt8581]

Cool video I caught a bunch last summer also I find they will slam a trout worm or night crawler just as hard as the Bloodworms. The freshwater worms are a bit cheaper. But bloodworms are awesome bait in general scary but awesome.

[@FishYourWay]

Great place to take the kid and fish for spot. Yea those bloodworms will bite. Get bit all the time but onetime was bit deep between the fingers and alot of the poison got in my hand. Swelled up like a boxing glove, was kinda scary, I almost went to the er but it went down after a few days. Same poison as a wasp or copperhead just a smaller volume

[@frankzima7998]

​@@FishYourWay saltwater panfishin', right?!

[@FishYourWay]

@@frankzima7998 I have to say no. The dynamics vary too greatly, however and unless the focus and intention of the angler is purely in terms of a harvest. The interpretation could be misconceived in conversation. I do must add saltwater panfishing would be a great title for a show.

[@frankzima7998]

​@FishYourWay understood sir! Tightest o' lines...

[@MartinVSmith6334]

Have you ever tried the Gulp bloodworms?

[@AlleKat]

Yeah I want to see that,I hear they work good.

[@FishYourWay]

Yea, and to be straight forward I think they suck prefer the sea worms over gulp for this kinda fishing anyday. But I have kept some in my bag just in case bait was scarce and those days I would find crabs which would outfish the power sandworm

[@FishYourWay]

@@AlleKat I may have done video in the past, I wound up flipping rocks for crab and caught more fish with the crab

[@AlleKat]

@@FishYourWay For some reason only fluke and bluefish like gulp.the stripers dont seem to go for it either?

[@FishYourWay]

I found this to be quite true, I did see a 30+ inch striper take a swipe this year but rarely they go for gulp and about never bother to use it for em

[@charlestaylor2480]

What spot is that and do they have bathrooms

[@FishYourWay]

It is in the title, Penn Pier, yea lots of porta john

[@ouissandy2806]

Seriously what happened to Porgies? Spots replaced them and they taste mushy.

[@MartinVSmith6334]

Try keeping them in an ice filled cooler.

[@AlleKat]

they spoil fast like weakfish.

[@FishYourWay]

@@AlleKat Catch weakfish on em!

[@FishYourWay]

They should be around some now but may be some soon if the spot leave some food for them, they roaming through the bay like vacuum cleaners now. If some offshore blues find em could get crazy in there

[@ouissandy2806]

@@FishYourWay just never seen this before. I have an email from some gov agency back in the day late 90s when I had to ask them what they were. Now they just took over. No alarm bells.

[@tedrzepski3789]

"spot burning" accusations can be silly. Sharing an outing to a public fishing pier is not spot burning.

[@FishYourWay]

Totally agree, I watched patterns through the years and the sources that drive the angler who follow location patterns are never discussed. I could write a book on the topic and it would be a NY Times best seller with my angle and experience

[@jamesjackson7616]

What exactly is spot burning though?

[@anthonydefalco4205]

EVER USE THE PAPER CLIP ATTACHED TO THE SINKER SO YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR ENTIRE SET UP ?

[@FishYourWay]

Here there, but some reason dont use em much they work though
