plenty of spot

[Harry]

Just waiting on the bass. Anyone catching*006*

going down tonight , trying tomorrow,I'll let you know..I read a report on another site that a guy got 45 BLOW FISH in n.j. I rather get them than the stripers ..

[jjm7]

Fished on Sat. trolled the back bays & inlets for about 4 hours nothing..The bay was loaded with dead bunker.the guy who owns the dock where I keep my boat went claming on Sat. he came back with about 100 clams , next year I might get my claming license,something to do between flounder season & waiting for the stripers to show .

...from talking with some of the clamming guys who come in and out of Kennedy Park a few weeks back, they have been doing real good also....I know the crabbing has been great this year so far with the biggest ones yet to be had. Now all we need are the bass to show up and stay a while.....next month I guess....

Fished twice w/spot during the week behind North WW and Grassy Sound area.......caught 2 throwbacks each time.....blues were doing a number on the spot...they (blues) can leave today and I won't be upset ......what a difference in spot population from last year.....great bait......with the warm water we have had this year they may have been here earlier during fluke season .....they love'em too.

This year in Wildwood was the best year" I think "in many years for baitfish, minnows were everywhere,I caught more flounder than ever " mostly shorts "it is looking good . Around the dock needle fish were everwhere, they have been absent for awhile now..

[CamoRay]

I haven't seen a needle fish in years.....probably because I have a sodium light on from dusk to dawn......they don't like bright light and stay out in the darker water........Years ago we had spot lights that we could turn on suddenly and catch them but they would quickly move out of the light....

I see them around the dock in the daytime ,Sat.when we were pulling in one came right out of the water about 8 inches long.I'm back in West Wildwood between Spray Dock and the Glenwood ave bridge.

Hey Joe....if you're thinking about clammin next year and don't yet have a clam rake consider buying one from MARGARETIVILLE (Bassbarn)....He makes the best one I've ever used..... all st/steel head ...... knife thin blades have less drag which make it much easier on the arms and shoulders when raking......a basket head makes it easy to rake them out of the mud without even bending over.....very light weight....
I've got his name and number if you want it ....he lives in Millville
you can get it with a handle or without and add one yourself...

Being a NJ senior citizen has one advantage of a free claming
license for life......Every time I go I have no problem raking 50-75 littlenecks from the flats on the left side of the ICW going toward the
big bridge....

Thanks Ray , I see his post on the Bassbarn,I'll look him up over the winter. I know rihgt where you mean,it was loaded out there with boats on sat when I past

[CamoRay]

I've been told that the closer you can get to the islands the more little- necks you'll find but I've got bad knees and unless I'm working an upcoming tide the walk back to the boat, even though the mud is pretty hard, kills me...
besides these rakes are so easy on the arms and shoulders that I just find
a spot away from the others and do my thing.....doesn't take to long and
I have fun doing it...

[Harry]

There still here real thick.
I'm thinking of getting a bait tank for the back of my truck to keep and transport these little guys to the bait pen.

Had the fishing rod in the bucket truck, just wanted to see if they're still around ;D

Turned these guys loose.....

[Willie]

Couple of weeks ago up in Brig a guy had a 55 gal drum with an airator pump and just kept throughing them in .....did a # on his rear suspension though and driving on the sand didn't help.....if you leave the spot on too long the blues will chomp it to nothing in a minute .....

[Whatever]

Just the size the Kings like...;D
