Size: 1-3lbs
Bait or Lure: clam, squid, crabs
Water Depth: 150-170ft
Water Temp.: unknown
Information : fished from about 6am to 2pm, wanted to touchdown early, it always seems like a good bet to hit the fish during breakfast time. I mean if a fish wanted to catch you wouldn't it be best to try when you were waking up in the morning starving, and looking for food? anyway, touched down at around 6 anchored up, tied up the size 2 gamakatsus(never fish without'em) linked with a combination of clam belly, and nice squid tentacles hanging off the bottom with the hook slightly exposed. within about 3 hours my boss and I hooked into approximately 32 ling, ranging in size from i'd say 8 or 9 oz, up to just under 4 lbs. this method hooked us into some nice seabass as well, biggest we saw hit the deck came on my hook at 6lbs 7oz, of course we picked up some unexpecteds as well, such as doggies, a flounder(go figure) and 2 stupid bluefish. nice day out, ended up with about 54 ling, 17 seabass, 4 blackfish, and a couple garbagefish. nice day

Information : If you have cabin fever head to the Manasqaun Inlet and fish the moving tide. The herring are all over the place, and the suckers fight nice on light tackle. You can smoke em, pickle em, freeze them for bait or release them. Herring makes great bait for just about everything from Ling to Stripers. Tip: Cast out about 25 feet from the bank and let the jig sink to the bottom, jig it and retrieve very slow and you should hook up. If that doesn't work watch one of the old timers they usually have a fish on all the time.

Information : About New Jersey Coast bottom fishing. Late January thru late March are notoriously slow times, as are July and much of August. The reasons why it is slow at these times is that there is no movement of fish. Ling fishing starts to get good in Early December when most people are still blackfishing or even sea bass fishing. The first month of this fishing can easily see 30 to 50 small to large ling boated. As time goes on and the blackfish stop biting, the ling are heavily pressured. There is no real fish movement until the ling come inshore to spawn in April, so the fish get pounded down. You can still get a few fish dinners, but 10 is a good catch; this is roughly the same thing that occurs with sea bass in the summer. My goal is usually to get 1 fresh fish dinner for 3 and hopefully catch up with some friends. Hoping to fill a cooler on a party boast in Feb and March is not very realistic. So if you lower your goals a bit and pick the right day, you can still have a good time. If you really want to fill a cooler with ling, fish for them in December, or on July and August Mud Hole trips on the party boats that run them. By the same token, if you want to catch a nice mess of Sea Bass, go on Winter Offshore trips, May and early June inchore trips and September inshore trips. Tight Lines.
