We headed out of Barnegat Inlet Sunday and had flat calm seas. We steered East toward the ridge and hit one of our favorites, In about 90 ft. This is the first time we had been there this year and did not expect there to be much left as it gets hit often. We were surprised to find lots of lobster , fluke, flounder,sea bass, ling and tog. Bottom temp; was about 51 and vis was 30ft or so which made it easy to get our share of seafood.
Next stop we headed a little South but found both of the wrecks in the area occupied so we turned inshore. After traveling a couple of miles we stopped on a ballast pile that gave up more lobster and sea bass.
It was a nice day and we were able to fill some coolers to the point where we could not close the lids. Lobsters to 5 lbs , fluke to 9lbs, sea bass to 4lbs and winter flounder
