It was really great until Mother Nature dealt a low blow with high winds and cold temps. Hope she'll take a tranquilizer this week. Me too, Don. If you can deal with the cold, The New York Bight is still awesome. Birds and busting fish from the back of Jamaica Bay to Breezy to Sandy Hook and all the way to the Verazzano.
Fish do tend to picky on some days, but on others they are downright reckless.
Bait has varied from day to day, but for the most part they are still on peanuts. Spoke with Captain Dino Torino from Fin Chaser Charters yesterday and he told me that there were still a lot of peanut bunker around. The big news, however, is the butterfish. If you can find them, big bass are underneath. Dino put his client on fish up to 35 inches on Monday.
