I remember seeing one guy who was use to fresh water fish and he caught a nice 24 inch weakfish. He decided to lip hold it. He found out weakfish don't just bite... they fang you to death Not that I would ever try to lip one, but I had a decent sized pike tag me once. That was a mess too.

bdowning Posted August 20, 2022 Report Share Posted August 20, 2022 Even lake trout have a set of sharp teeth on them. Eventually you figure out what to lip and what to avoid. Danny1199 1 Pfantum Pfishah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Typically this is what I would do. This one was a smaller fish with a big circle stuck in its mouth, which I was having a tough time trying to twist out to begin with. When the fish didn't want to cooperate by keeping his mouth open, I used my thumb as a wedge to pry it open. It's a dogfish, what can possibly go wrong? Now I know.

MVTee Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Hit some backwaters earlier this week 9-4am and got my buddy his first ever keeper bass, a 31inch fatty that hit about 15 feet off the tip of his rod. Not sure who was more pumped up, me or him. More small bait than I can remember with fish popping 360 degrees around us at the top of the outgoing. They were picky and had to work for them. The random bluefish chewed up the only plastics the bass liked. Ended up with 15 hefty schoolies and several blues.

HarrytheKid Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 Atlantic County jetty at dawn, beginning of the outgoing. One rat on the teaser, and one blue on topwater. My buddy got one nice bass. Water was flat with snappers and schoolies on small bait everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loubert Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 MoCo 6-10. Clean flat water, no wind, max humidity. Stumbled on a snapper blitz just before the sun came up, got a few on a 7/8 epoxy. Bite died soon after, started snooping around for fluke, no success. Lot of small bait everywhere I went, Just didn’t find a lot on them. Tins=Wins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigdeal Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 How's the water on the bay today........ bdowning 1 "Law enforcement’ is not something sovereign citizens seize from police officers. It is a societal function that citizens delegate to civil police. In so doing, we do not abdicate our own sovereignty, nor our duties as citizens. Ultimate responsibility is still ours. When those we hire as our “Protectors” are either unwilling or unable to perform that function at the critical moment, there is no law, nor standard, that says we cannot perform it for ourselves"........

ICastAsJason Posted August 21, 2022 Report Share Posted August 21, 2022 It's been so slow for fluke in the RB, this has been a welcomed sight. Break out the medium rod with small top water... Hours of fun. Same spot, every morning. PXL_20220821_105345364.mp4 richie c and Mr.Belmar 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
