The First Full Sedge of 2015, By Alexi

     What a difference 10 or 15 degrees air temperature and overcast conditions makes when going out in Barnegat Bay. There were VERY few other fishermen/ boats around  the Sedges, OCC, and the Inlet.  For a while I was the only one fluking.  Not that it mattered much, I didn't do so so hot!  Despite several really good drifts late in the day in the inlet, I still only managed one short fluke from earlier.  (There was still a Seal around in the inlet.)

     Why is this post called the Full Sedge?  That's what I call it when I hit ALL of my favorite spots; the flats/ Seal Island/ Oyster Creek Channel/ The Sedge House/ Horsefoot/ Snake Ditch/ the inlet.
