Jack, Harley , John and I got out Sat for our first dive of the year out of Barnegat Inlet. We had nice calm seas and generally good conditions.
The first stop was one of the NW barges where many lobster were spotted but turned out that most had eggs. The site was also loaded with sea bass.
Next stop was another of the nw barges with the same fish but more lobsters with out eggs this time. We also got some nice ling on this one.
Last stop was an old fishing boat reef which usually produces but must have been recently hit. A few more lobster came up and a few fish but it was mostly picked over.
Bottom temp on all dives was about 50 and the vis was 10 to 15 foot.
Hit the dock at around 2 pm.
