The birds are in full nesting mode.

On the water, the fog can roll in fast.

The sun sets and it's a new moon, or just a sliver.

Bridges disappear, and re-appear.

KGB: fog bank upon us

Sod-banks take on new significance.  

Before they fade away completely they act as a guide.

South Jersey Weakfish Effort, May 2020

In fishing, choices have to be made. The biggest and first choice is often what species to target.  This spring I will give at least a handful of trips over to targeting Weakfish in South Jersey.  Most likely what you will see here will be the by-catch.

Steve and I have logged in a few trips in the back bays and have managed several stripers between us, but no weakfish to date.  This spring has been exceptionally cold, so, we have a sufficient and likely excuse for our failure.
