Went fishing in Manasquan Inlet this evening on the outgoing tide. Caught, tagged and released a fluke and 6 bluefish to 32” with teasers, Avas, a spoon and a stainless steel Jap metal in 160 minutes. Caught 46 fish in 15 trips to the inlet this year.

Took 81 years old brother Joe and 70 years old friend Dave fishing in Manasquan Inlet this evening during a cold, sunny nor’easter on the incoming tide. We caught 12 bluefish. Not bad for 3 old guys. I didn’t see anyone catch a fish. I caught, tagged and released an 18” bluefish on a spoon soon after I started fishing. Then I didn’t get a hit for nearly 2 hours. After the incoming current got swift, I caught, tagged and released a bluefish double on an Ava A-17 and brother John’s homemade synthetic buck tail teaser. Soon after that I caught, tagged and released my first ever bluefish triple with 2 teasers and a plain hook Ava A-17. Catching my bluefish limit on one cast was awesome . Then a bluefish bit off my teaser. After that, a bluefish bit off my Ava. Just before I left, I caught, tagged and released my seventh and final bluefish for the day. Caught 32 fish: 25 bluefish, 5 hickory shad, a fluke and a kingfish in 12 trips to the inlet this year. Tagged 27 fish: 25 bluefish, a fluke and a kingfish. None were recaptured yet.

Pretty much all critters die on my boat. We have one out here that has to be released. Descended like most do red snapper on east coast. This is a Yellow Eye rockfish. We get them frequently. But,..,,this is the biggest I've ever seen. Lives up to 150 years old. Took 12# of lead to descend.

Went for a little while Sat and Sun afternoon to run my boat some after working on it and because the wind actually somewhat cooperated. First cast with a senko Sat this dude bit and got its teeth tangled in the line. Redeemed myself a little later with about a 3½ pounder.

Started decent Sun, caught 3 bass, a dang nice jack and a warmouth with a high opinion of its self in the first 30 minutes. Fished 2 more hours for one more bass.
