Today was a beautiful day to go to the beach despite the forecast. When I first got there I anticipated catchin' fish. I saw plenty of bunker, but no fish underneath them. You can look up and down the beach no one was hooked up. There were plenty of boats, but again no hook ups. I hear alot of fish are north of us, Bayhead and Manasquan. Hopefully they will move south in the next day or so. Thanks, Geri |
