It was a nice sunny day with light winds in the mid forties. Water temps ranged from 39.5 to 43.2 degrees. Despite the mild winter we had I was surprised the with the water temps. Especially since it has not warmed much with the recent slightly warmer weather we have been having.
Armed with plenty of flounder chum, corn and blood worms we set out for our first spot. It was slightly less crowded than I thought it would be. There was only about a dozen boats just South of the Mantoloking Bridge. We set the pots out, started a heavy corn slick and had not even a tap after about an hour. We did see a few fish netted from a sailboat about a hundred yards away.
At our next spot along Herring Island we boated a nice 14" flounder in no time, but that was it for that spot. After moving over near Dale's Point we managed two more fish...a 14.5" and 15.25" blackback.
While it was not a stellar day, despite the wind against the tide conditions and cool water temps we managed to keep the skunk away.
