Randy Olson  Bass / Bluefish Charter. We broke the inlet at 7:00 am and started working the birds. We were jigging bluefish at a drop and reel pace working our way south towards Mantoloking. About an hour into the day we found the striped bass. After landing a few shorts and one keeper bass the guys wanted to finish the day blackfishing. The 30 kt. winds kicked up as we set up on our first piece. We worked hard to get the hook to stick but had no luck. We went back on the hunt for bass but only blues and lots of dogfish to finish the day off.  All in all we had a great time!

We had did our first eeling trip of the fall in the Manasquan River.  Max Forlenza, his father John, and my buddy Don were on board.  We started out in the Manasquan Inlet working the south jetty. We drifted the tide change on the top of the out going, working or way from the Inlet all the way up the river and threw the canal, concentrating heavily on the bridges.  We had a few solid hits but only one bass for the night caught be John Forlenza.  The fish measured 33 inches. It was a nice night out with the boys. We will be running eeling trips threw the end of December.
