Well, well, well. It's only a matter of time. All those bass, either out past the three mile line, inside the line, in the bays and rivers, or along the beach HAVE, well choose, to move south. Eventually they will pass by you, most out of range, but every now and then, they're in close.
John from Betty and Nicks gives a daily update, which pisses some people off, regarding the general idea where the action has been. It seems like Monmouth County is starting to see some action as those Raritan Bay bass peel around the False Hook and those fish that were hugging the New York beaches around the Rockaways have started to move.
What does that all mean? Not much unless you go, and put the time in. Fish in Monmouth County? Well that could be from the tip of the Death Walk down to the Manasquan Inlet. You might be able to find them at 6, 8, 10, 12 , 2 or 4 o'clock, if you're in the right place at the right time. If you're lucky they may be in Monmouth Beach and if you're in Long Branch they may show as they move south.
If you don't have a crew then your cell phone won't help, but some binoculars and your truck will. They're on the move, and you should be as well. These fish don't hold like they used to, especially in those towns that Frank Pallone and his cronies have ruined with beach replenishment.
But, it seems, the fish are here, or around, and not boat fish. It's wood burning stove installation for me today, 12-hour shifts in the hospital tomorrow and Wednesday, and date day on Thursday heading out to Lancaster for Sight and Sounds NOAH. Then it's back to the long-term care facility with the students on Friday. So, you won't catch me out there. Catch em' up.
