I bugged out of work early and headed down to the marina. Tommy and I left the dock at 1 pm and were on a rock pile by 2:15 pm.

We moved around to a couple different rock piles before we found one holding some keeper sea bass. Most were returned as they were right on the line of being legal at 12.5″ but we did manage three that were over 14″.  I also had one fluke at 19″ that was measured and returned to fight another day.

The water has cooled a bit to 69.8 degrees but was very clean, including the water in the inlet and the Squan River. Bait of choice was bits of squid.

We were back at the dock and had the boat cleaned by 6 pm.
