FunkyBunker Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 (edited) May went by way too fast! Here's looking to summer. Good luck and be safe out there. Try to keep other conversations, inquires, and rants in the appropriate threads. If you have a question about something that would make a good thread on it's own, please start one. For all of you new to the site, this is how you should make your report. It's up to you how much information you give, but please keep it within the rules and no spot-burning or specific locations. Out front (oceanfront) or In the back (rivers, bays, and inlets), Conditions What you were fishing for, What you were using, What you caught. You can say that you caught fish in Ocean County but saying that you got them at Ocean Beach is a no-no. The location terms to use are.......... Monmouth County Ocean County Atlantic County Cape May County North Jersey for the Hudson and other waters north of Raritan Bay. County name plus "In the back" for Inlets, Rivers, and Bays.

FunkyBunker Posted June 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Wow the 6th month of the year. This one has been flying by since the winter finally decided to quit. Had to give it another shot this morning with the weather conditions holding steady. Got out front 445-615am. Kept the Hydro Minnow on, might be the new go to. Bite started off good with a 18" blue then a couple of same sized ones lost a few yards out. 20 mins it found a healthy 26" bass, definitely a lack of lively fish that size here this year. 2 more blues 22"-24" and a few casts later kept the streak alive with a nice 33.5" bass. That's a new record for me. Finished off with 2 more blues around 20" and bite died off right before 6. Looks like those bigger fish are pushing north so hope you guys are ready. This one is table fare . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripnowell45 Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Funky you are depressing me. Got out again last night from 8-11. I told myself I wasn't leaving until I broke the skunk and I did with a maybe 26" fish. Worked my way from northern Moco to Central working all different types of structures and currents and that's all I found. Saw a few other guys with the same luck as me. Maybe I'll try early tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buckscorider Posted June 1, 2018 Report Share Posted June 1, 2018 Nice fish and great motivator Funky. I was out front in OC last night. Found cabbage then moved a few miles north and good. Foggy and nice water at high. Ended with one decent blue so no skunkage. Crushed barbs save fish, keep that rod bent! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny because when i saw them last year i told myself i don't need those because the SP's work fine. What interested me was the shallower running depth. With flat beaches like here it makes a difference. 29 mins ago, J Wagen said: F,B., What color H.M.? 6" Black/Silver Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
