Barnegat Bay, inlet and Surrounding Waters

Saturday, 08 May 2010

Barnegat Bay, inlet and surrounding waters continue to be a light tackle euthsists dream ! Earlier in the week strong Southerly winds had pushed our warmer inshore waters[ ocean ] to the East dropping the inlet waters temps to an observe low of 49 degrees possibly leading to our rejuvenated back bay striper bite by weeks end. Catches of Big Blues to 10lbs and stripers continued to entertain and down right wear out tackle and anglers on all trips this week . Light spinning tackle with poppers continue to be the tools of the trade as this has proven to be most effective and be so very visually exciting ! Regulars Jay Simmons and Ernie Rosenberg were joined by new comer Chris Simmons [ Jay's lil' bro] to experience fantastic action with big blues on poppers and bait . Double and triple headers were the rule through out the trip! Regular Peg Glenz was out for much of the same action with light spinning tackle and top water lures. At times Peg was fast into big blues on every cast ! Zzzzzz!!! Regular Karl Steffan was joined by Glenn Daehnke for more fun filled action with blues and stripers. At times schools of stripers could be observed attacking schools of bait just a few feet from the boat ! Karl took "Hot Rod" honors tallying 4 stripers [ 1 keeper] and 17 blues boated . Don't forget to join us on Face Book !

What a trip! The fish were hitting nonstop. Blues up to 12 lbs. and Stripers on topwaters and light tackle was awesome! Nothing gets the blood flowing like a screaming drag and a medium light rod bent double. My arms are still sore, but it was well worth it. Thanks again for a great trip. Can't wait to get out and mix it up with the big boys again.
