This is a typical summer trip to the Barnegat Inlet jetty on my charter boat, Hi Fler out of Barnegat NJ with live grass shrimp. We anchor up on a hard running tide and chum the shrimp into the rocks. We bait up 5 or 6 shrimp on a small hook, 30" of 20 pound flourocarbon, and put 20 feet of line under the Redi-Rig Release Bobber. This bobber has a release clip on the bottom that releases under tension and then the float slides all the way down your line to the hook, allowing you to net the fish and bobber. Most of these fish are 22" to 26", shy of the legal 28". but a blast on 10 pound spinnong tackle.This is Nick putting the boots to one of a dozen bass we caught this trip, including one
29" that was also released. We also catch quite a few blackfish this way. www.hiflier.com
We are in 25 feet of water and putting the shrimp bait down 20 feet under the float.
