The recent blow gave us two days of foul weather but good fishing. With the mullet mayhem, it’s safe to say the mullet run is on! There’s still a variety of species on tap; tog, kingfish, bluefish, fluke, striped bass, sheepshead and a few pompano among others.
South Philly Fred stopped by the shop to pick up his Van Staal after an annual service and then heading up to the north end. He reported back, “The mullet are everywhere and the bass are snapping. It’s winds and raining but it’s on! On my second cast the Bomber Windcheater got smoked. Then a few minutes later got another, much bigger one. It was a good mullet run bass about 20#.

For all that attend the local meeting this past week in Manahawkin… Thank You. It was a great meeting with lots of questions and answers, but unfortunately there was not a strong attendance. I was expecting a packed house and a long line for public comment but that wasn’t the case.
For those that missed it, there’s still time. All you need to know is published here… It’s super easy to comment online via survey form. Please do it now.
