Oooh I caught...

Deep C · 09-29-2009, 05:12 PM

Something different... at least for me... Sitting in the slip watchin the wind blow and the flags flappin. Ihad bought a few dozen worms last week in case the boss wanted to go hunt some weakfish... Weather sucking too bad for even that.
The worms are lookin pretty well at the end of the road so I started soaking a few right off the boat and around tge pilings. Doink! Baby sea bass followed by a couple porgies then even a small tog... Then doink again... This time a southern kingfish. No not king mackerel, one of those whiting cousin kingfishes... Ok its not the catch of the century but it was something I havn't caught since I was a kid. It doesn't have to be epic to remind me of what fun even little fish can be. Something different like that keeps the fun in even the most mundane styles of fishing...

Always nice to catch something!

I'm in the same area as you, Rumson guy myself, it's always nice to be able to fish in the rivers when its too rough on the outside. Hoping to get out at the end of the week and chase some albies down the beach.

Very cool. So great to catch something else. We used to get the juveniles in the seine nets from time to time. The larger ones hang off the local beaches, but I don't think I've caught one in all these years.

Nice job!

The tog bite was hot locally over the weekend, my kid and I must have caught 100 between us, including a couple 5 pounders

Catch some more of those kingfish(a.k.a sea mullet down here) and fry them up. Very good fish to eat. You won't be disappointed.

Deep C · 09-29-2009, 08:58 PM

That sounds like fun... It's nice to see I'm not so old and jaded that catching something different still gets me grinnin...

Ooooh now thats even funner... Caught a five gallon bucket of them by accident in the Navesink a couple years ago. Only there one day but it was a ball... We get em in the marinas down south and over in the islands... Kids love em and so do I!
