Happy New Years to everyone here on 24/7. Hope this year brings a great bite for us all.
First report: today the river is covered in a sheet of ice. Hope the fingerlings of the last spawning season make it through the cold. Again the river is cover in ice stay home or hit the beaches of SNJ like I will be doing on Thursday.

First time with the boat out this year since I don't have a truck to tow it with. If anyone has a truck and no boat message me maybe we can get together. I live in conshocken and usually launch out of chester. Anyways fished top of the tide around 5-9pm. Launched at chester started north of CBB NJ waters in 15ft with no results. Headed south of CBB around 6pm and got some action in NJ waters in 10ft. Got a total of four striper, 3 perch, and 2 big cats. All caught on bloods. Had a few misses and pulled the hook on another decent fish. Once the tide got rolling good the bite slowed down.

Was out today from 8 till 2. Not only did the Flyers loose, but no fish. Major wind!!!!! Fished the northern tip of Petty island then went north to the flat just past the bridge. Nothing?????. Oh well. Water temp was 53. Had bloods and clam since Bobs bait was out of bunker. Live lined a pearch then chunked it. Nothing. I was marking fish above Petty island though. Hope it's better next weekend. Till then all, Chuckles
