I've tried a bunch over the years but i like the Eagke claw Lazr - the pliers on the far right in Valentines pic - they are inexpensive and easy to use, work better than most of the more expensive models. Just bought another pair on the fleabay last nite for under $5

You can use what hunters are doing - an ozonics closet/tent put your gear in there to eliminate most of the smells but realize over time the ozone might start to break down rubber and other materials. This might not matter to you if you buy waders every few years

This might end up like last year- the fall run didn’t start until winter or after Thanksgiving. Seems to start later every year, i remember when the run started in late August

Cape May used to be the Montauk of South Jersey, that ended when all the jetty’s got buried. Used to fish the area heavy and seen a number of 60lbers caught, the local High Hookers all swore the the next world record would be caught there. These days you need a boat to get to the ridges and underwater highways that all migrating stripers must pass thru

Whatever happened to the guy who caught the BFT on the beach on Seaside Heights about 10 years back? Was it a legal catch, was he allowed to keep it? I’m thinking of putting a fighting chair in the back of my pickup, I’ll kayak a bait way out and wait for the mother of all battles

I learned years ago to use yellow from an old sharpie- my area has a decent sized kingfish area where they breed, have a nursery, etc and this draws in the stripers and Blues so yellow has always seemed to work good around here. Yellow is the official color of the Down Beach High Class Hooker Fishing Club

All the terrorists left after Labor Day, nice and quiet now with a few stragglers taking up parking spots and littering from PA but the large group of “terrorists” are gone for the season

First day ever surf fishing. Only thing I caught was some other guy’s lure.

At least you didn’t catch any Cooney Island whitefish -
I would go with an Abu Revo Beast - I have over a hundred Ambu’s but they are all in storage now- completely changed over to baitcasters - Revo Toro Beast with 30lb drag is great for Musky as well as any fishin in the salt

Never Bait Fish With More Than 1 Rod if You Don't Have a Baitrunner
Fishit 2 replied to Big Biscuit's topic in Main Forum
A guy came to my local jetty a few weeks back, crowded Jetty and he decides to setup 4 rods to chunk. Whenever he turned his back he seemed to get mystery breakoffs, he couldn’t understand what was happening, after about 4 or 5 times I think he took the hint and went down to one rod and guess what? No more mysterious cut lines! -
That’s a Sputnik sinker - I’ve found they don’t work that great, I prefer a coin shape sinker, they tend to do best in moving water

It’s a mental disorder nothing more than that

The Seaside Heights beach in the early 80’s had mountains of them, disgusting
-
NorthWorst winds are brutal, water dropped almost 5 degrees. Even a blind nut catches a fish once in a while sometimes

Looks like a bottle dartah

I use a St Croix Mojo Surf conventional 10’ paired with a 13’ Fishing Concept Z. It’s a liteweight setup that will cast a mile, it’s sensitive enough to feel a King nibble and strong enough for anything big that wants to hit it.
-
Just got a pack of the BKK, impressive I must say, got size #4 90lbs should be strong enough to hook any fish in the NE
-
Any serious chunker/ bait slinger would be wise to learn how to use a conventional reel, save the spinners for plugging but it’s much simpler and way more comfortable chunking with a nice convench reel.

I guess he didn’t get it, sharp as a hotdog

New to conventional set ups for fluke/bass/blues. Any recommendations??
Fishit 2 replied to Billy77's topic in Main Forum
I’ve been using an Abu Revo Beast 9.3oz 30lbs drag holds over 200 yards of 30lb braid for drifting fluke and bottom fishing. Can handle 1/2oz lures op to 8oz. Bucktails easily, light enough to fish all day. Ive also been using my new 13 Fishing Concept A3 Gen 2, for the same type of fishing and it’s also an excellent reel for the money -
Spinning Reel Recommendations for around $100 or less

I would go with a Penn 712z before buying any of the new disposable reels. All my Z series are from the ‘70’s and they all work fine, a little heavy but sturdy and easy to maintain. They will last forever as well -
They probably get plenty of volunteers to polish the head aboard the USS Good Ship Lolipop

I try to fish hard for the first month of fluke season, that’s usually when the large are caught - later in the season it’s nothing but shorts but as soon as they close the season the large show up again!

Your not going to find many fluke in the river, usually by mid June fluke start showing in the surf, when the water gets to about 60 and above they usually start biting in the inlets
