first surf report

[Let It Ride]

Hello all. I got out to the beach last night for the first time this year and killed the schoolies. I spent maybe an hour and a half and easily landed 25 bass. Most were in the 18-25 inch range, but I did manage 2 that went slightly over 30 inches. Great night, light breeze, outgoing tide, couldn't have asked for more. Lure of preference was a pink 4" sluggo.

There were several meat fishermen there as well that didn't get a sniff while I was there. They kept yelling at me to give them the fish cause I wasn't keeping any. I've seen these guys there before and they pay no attention to legal limits and keep everything they catch. I have called the DEP on them on more than one occasion, but I guess nothing ever comes of it cause they keep killing the small fish.

Anyway, I'll be back out there next week, so hopefully there will be more good to report.

Mike
