Last saturday we did our first shark trip of the year out of Barnegat. Found the makos but the water temps were very low (54),and they were not agressive at all. Missed 2 hookups. They were mouthing the baits very lightly. Best hit of the day was on one of the floats We'll be at it again on friday
Will be running out of Moriches this weekend to some of my hotspots 40 miles out. Why that far? thats where I last caught my macks. I'll let you know how I do.
Went out yesturday to the butterfish hole. It was hard to get the baits passed the bluefish, but managed to catch one small blue shark and missed another hook up. water temp 61.5
