I bought a bunch of these on sale at Dick's last summer. I'm pretty sure I broke the hook on 2 of them last year and I just broke 2 last week... It like adding insult to injury when,instead of breaking the line and losing a $4 jig, you real it up and have to cut it off and throw away a $4 jig...

Launched for the season at 6 am. Weather forecast completely wrong in our favor! Beautiful run down Manasquan river & out the Inlet. Bait everywhere so we snagged a few, went out to 60 ft and let em swim. My brother thinks he had one plucked off real quick but can't really be sure. I had a jig...

I've been doodling designs for new gunnel boxes for years. Finally stopped thinking and started DOing. Got a big piece of 1/2" Starboard and went to work. The design went through many variations including hinged doors, tackle drawers, sliding doors...I settled on a starboard frame with one...

Here is my current freshwater craft and a pic of my old 16 Sylvan, the original SkunkBoat. Its down in Weiss Lake, Alabama now at my brother's place.

Does anyone know of a cheap source in NJ for a full sheet 54 x96 Starboard lumber? Closest place I've found online is TPI in Fairless Hills PA (60 miles from me) Full sheet if .500 inch is $302 ePlastics in San Diego seems good, they will make cuts cheap too, but shipping is $$$$. sheet is...

We took a flight down to FLL in search of some swordfishing. My brother keeps his 29 Aquasport in Pompano. Well, we brought a cold front with us. 80 degrees when we landed, 46 degrees when we left. First night we couldn't get it together for swording so we dropped on the reef for some snapper...

Got out on an overnight offshore trip on the Voyager out of Pt Pleasant,NJ. Fantastic weather, Fantastic fishing!. Left the dock at 1030PM anchored at 4AM caught fish at 4:02AM. The entire boat limited out by 8 AM. All big fish. We were releasing 3 pounders. Pool fish was about 7 pounds. I...

Got out Saturday on the head boat Voyager for some bottom fishing. They ran up to The Farms looking for some ling (red hake). We did pretty good early and then it turned on well at 1:30pm to top off the cooler by 2:30. I know, I know...Sorry, no pix. 3 of us got about 50 ling, a 3 Lb tog...

Some of the text is a repost from the Fishing forum... I got out on the Big Jamaica last Sunday. Fishing was very slow. Maybe a dozen or so blues and 3 keeper bass on the whole boat. I had a short bass and a spiny dogfish. They ran right down to the Seaside Lumps. Fished most of the day out...

Got out at sunrise. Crazy bluefishing right in front of the inlet. Jigged about ten between 8 & 15 Lbs. They were puking up small bunker. Got tired of that. Went north to Spring Lake looking for bass. got a couple blues but slow. Had to work after noon so I headed back to inlet at 930 caught a...

Took a trip up to PA for some golfing and fishing. left a vehicle at the Water Gap NRA. Got the first tee time at Shawnee at 7:30. Nobody in front or behind us. Finished our round at 10:30! Launched the canoe at 11:30 and fished our way down to the Gap at 3:00. The highlight was this nice...

Well it definitely was V weather on Friday. Wish I could have fished the whole day. had to head back at 1030. Got a handful of little tunny (aka Albie/False albacore/Bonita) and a couple big bluefish. We were daisy chains & spreader bars trolling fast & tight to the boat to avoid bluefish. The...

My brother got a 27" cod today. I had the first one on a jig while we came back on the anchor, but got excited, didn't wait for the net, and it fell off at the rail. Yes, my birthday cod got away!:cry: That was the target species for the day and the first cod for the SkunkBoat, so we are...

I've never been one to troll much but I started making long runs for tuna and mahi. I needed a way to spread some lines. I used a 12ft paint roller extention with a rigger clip tied to the end. Stuck it in an angled rodholder. Worked better than my first try, a 10 ft surf rod with a clip.

Just finished eating a grilled mahi sammich...:nice: We took the 50 mile ride to the Glory Hole/Princess for a shot at tuna. We were practically alone. I think everyone was at the Resor. Guess we should have gone there. We got one nice mahi and a double on monster bluefish that really...

may be making a tuna run tomorrow I'm hearing that the Resor has been hot all week. I haven't gone that way from manasquan, it rules out stopping at Glory Hole and Mud Hole on the way home. Might just stick with Princess/Glory Hole....if I get out...

Went out Sunday from 7 -10 AM. Manasquan river was way low and no bites at the RR bridge hole so we went out. Tried the 40ft hump off Sea Girt, nothing. Went out to the Sea Girt reef started in 70 ft with a really good drift, nothing until we started up a hill to 60 ft. Steady bites, 3 keepers...

It was too @#%&*^$! HOT! Fished Sunday AM. 3 Keeper fluke in the river(manasquan) by the RR bridge. Nothing worth a photo, biggest 19". Nice bag of fillets:nice: Nothing but birds (sea robins) outside from the beach out to 70ft. Was drinkin a cold one at home by 1 PM

Success!!!!:sun: Forecast was spot on...We got out the inlet a little late and got to the Glory Hole/Princess just before 7AM. There were quite a few boats out there but not too bad because there was a shark tournament going on that kept a lot of boats busy elsewhere. We got our bite at 8:30...

forecast is looking like a probable for Sunday trip to Glory Hole/Princess. I'll be clearing Manasquan inlet at first hint of light 4-430? If its good I'll make the 40-50 mile run, try to get lines back by sunrise. Should be a parking lot out there. If weather doesn't pan out, I'll bail out at...
