  1. Are there any spooks that are heavy and cast a mile into the wind, yet still float and aren't huge?(sounds contradictory :P) All the spooks I have are light and become useless in any real wind. Also some of the sizes I see here are way too big for the small fish we've got where I fish here in Southern NJ.
  2. I only fish with lures and I am happy to catch anything, so especially here in southern nj I have to fall back on catching bluefish if nothing else is around. Most of them are one pound or less most of the time. I didn't even know the bluefish rules changed. It had been no limit for so long, I just happened to walk past a notice board and saw the difference.
  3. Putting some mono on the reel first before you put your braid on is no longer necessary?
  4. CMC today.....tons of snapping blues, gorging on these tiny little fish(smaller than minnows), don't know what they are....sadly no big guys anywhere near by
  5. parents are down the shore till sunday morning, hopefully it holds out till then
  6. lots of heavy rain showing up in the forecast suddenly trying to ruin my vacation!
  7. I'll settle for some snapping blues chasing minnows here in CMC
  8. I at least can answer in that it can be. Biggest weakie I ever caught was one day when we had a good coastal storm come through. Usually I like to fish off the ocean more than the bay and stay dry so for that it's not ideal
  9. coastal flood advisory on the day my vacation starts
  10. CMC, ocean was just a mess so I decided to fish in the bay and enjoy less wind. I caught the same exact black seabass over and over and over, at least that's what it looked like. Tons of bait fish everywhere and nothing on any of it
  11. All the wind this coming week is making me sad. It's the week before I go down for vacation and it's going to make everything so muddy
  12. I remember seeing a green one with bright highlights in the bay once. Was very pretty, looked like it escaped from someone's aquarium
  13. My dad keeps telling me stories about the 9 pound bluefish he would catch around this time of year. I was out all sunday driving around to every spot looking for even just snapping bluefish.
  14. Cape May County: I am always happy just catching blues of any size and I couldn't even find those today.
  15. It will be nice just to have one day of low winds
  16. Stone Harbor/Avalon is Tog city and not much else.
  17. I was more shocked by the line lay on that reel in the first 5 seconds
  18. When I hear stories like this I wish the people could experience the montauk crowd and they would realize they were happier with what they had to deal with.
  19. Oh no, I was planning to stop in and pick a few things up, it's the day my shore rental starts. Now it's going to be a crowded nightmare
  20. That lure looks great, wish there was a little heavier option
  21. If amber based lenses make everything that color does anyone lament they are missing out on the beauty of nature?
  22. I would have got a vs but i really don't like getting wet. Instead I went with something to try and make up that casting difference of not being in the water.
  23. what tint color is the jack of all trades/all around/every day/whatever ? I can't afford to buy multiple sunglasses for only certain conditions
  24. I don't know how anyone is suppose to make an informed decision on sunglasses. There's so many brands, styles, tints. I can go into the local mall, to a store but there's no ocean to look at, to help make a choice.
  25. This time last year my lawn was dead from no rain and I happily didn't have to mow. But all this rain made me think does significant rain over significant period of time have any impact on saltwater fishing?
