New Dark Matter Rod
A shortie spinner is my go to rod for Striper jigging and tossing swim shads from a Party Boat. You can really fling 'em underhand better than with a longer rod- hartattack

They freeze and refreeze very well. The darker pieces need trimming but it's no big deal given the cheap cost....- hartattack

Best Fluke Bait This Season Hopped on a Belmar NJ party boat yesterday b4 the storms, glad I did. They were hungry and hooking themselves (love when they inhale the bottom jig). I was the only one on the boat using Salmon skin strips and I was easily high hook. Mates were skeptical that it...- hartattack

Need party boat recommendation please
My buddy is visiting LI and I hope to meet him on Thursday to get out on a party or open boat for whatever is biting best. Half day, full day, evening doesn't matter, I just need to learn what boat to patronize or avoid, Captree preferred. I'll have tackle , gulp, rigs, etc for us trying to...- hartattack

When I lived on LI I had a boat in the Sound. Since I moved to NJ 40 years ago I have something better - friends' boats! I'm the same age as you Pete and we both yearn for that tug. My crew (all older than me!) depend on me to get the boat prepped and tucked in b4/after every trip. It's my...- hartattack

Good conditions = good fluking. Long, repeatable drifts over productive NJ bottom today was the key, we never left the area. My 3 biggest went 22, 23, 24". Salmon belly was bait of the day, inshore of 65', outgoing tide, water temp 72*, nice seabass too !- hartattack

What's your opinion on the new fishing reports?
I may've posted this on Noreaster but can't find it now,,,, I love the new reports! There is such specific local knowledge others may call it spot-burning, I call it helpful. I'm thrilled that the NJ reports are broken down by region and not lumped onto one. Inshore vs offshore is also a nice...- hartattack

As this site transitions to a more regional perspective ( Noreaster states vs NY only) , animosity is not appropriate Mitch. I post here because I fish NY waters in Raritan Bay. I also fish LI waters when visiting friends and family. The NJ regs are more favorable than NY's due to NY's...- hartattack

NJ Ocean Fluking improves We had 36 keepers up to 27" on Sunday for 12 fares. You had to stay at the rail all day to get rewarded. There was one 15 minute stretch where everyone was hooked up all at once, probably 15 of the 36 Ks came up then, including my biggun. Salmon bellies worked well but...- hartattack

There's a Nor'easter on the way . . .
Like most new sites, navigation takes some time but doable. Ive been perusing the NJ reports and its evident the Zone Writers know their stuff! The detailed info by inshore region is accurate to the point where some folks might call it spot-burning, I call it HELPFUL !!- hartattack
