Nice weekend

Hear is a live picture of the beach hear in Sea Isle.  The weather for this weekend looks good possible shower on Friday High of 62 winds SW 15-20 Saturday High 58 winds N 5-10 and Sunday high 62 winds S 15-20.  Not looking to bad we will have green crabs, clams in the shell, blood worms, night crawlers and all the standard frozen bait.

green crabs attacking minnows

We added some minnows to the tank to day with the green crabs and WOW..  I never thought green crabs where so aggressive or that they would be able to catch a lively minnow.  The minnow where in the tank for only seconds be for the first one went down.  I took a short video to show you…

New Minnow Tank

Hear is the new minnow tank.  I have been working on it for a couple of weeks and had to show all of you.  It is not completely dun it still needs to be raped in white bored and cleaned up a bit.  This tank is 2 times the size of the tank we had last year. It also has a full glass front so all the kids can see what is in it.  The bottom of the tank is a separate compartment witch will have all kinds of critters for the kids to see like starfish, crabs, snails, periwinkles, hermit crabs and more.  The tank is currently full of green crabs that are dyeing to get eaten by some big tog.  So even if you are not heading out fishing be shore to stop in and see what is in the tank. 

2014 NJ Flounder and Sea Bass Regulations

At the meeting of the NJMFC the following was voted on and approved:
Fluke - 5 fish, 18" size limit open 5/23, -9/27

Sea bass - 12 ½” size limit, 15 fish bag limit from 5/19 – 6/30, 3 fish bag limit from 7/1 –8/31, 15 fish bag limit from 9/1 – 9/6 and a 15 fish bag limit from 10/18 – 12/31

Public support was overwhelmingly in favor on the approved sea bass option.
Only 2 members of the public spoke in opposition of the approved fluke regulations. Those two individuals preferred an earlier season.

Also discussed was the possibility of a pilot program for shore based angler to keep 2 16in fluke at IBSP. This program is similar to one Connecticut put in place a few years ago. The council listened to public comment on the program and will vote on the matter at their next meeting on May 1……
