The only way to get a proper measurement is to lay the fish on your ruler. I usually fumble around but I’ll get a rough measurement by going across the top but if it’s close and I need a better measurement, I go to the bottom.
You sure had a point with don't judge people by their fishing gear before I moved down here I couldn't get down here to fish but a couple weekends a year I just had a thirty dollar Shakespeare combo and I caught plenty of fish I didn't invest in good gear till I moved down here now I have two penn squadron three's paired with two peen pursuit three's I love
I was a few towns down from you, got there early, caught a ton of shorts, then got myself a nice keeper after a few hours(like you say, gotta put in the work). I went home(Monmouth County guy here) tried to watch the Giants and after the 1st quarter said to myself, I left the beach for this and I went back for another couple hours and caught some nice fish(no keepers though)
Went Sunday early morning to sandy hook at low tide. Bite was hot early and we caught many shorts and a few keepers. Then it died down quickly and did not improve with approaching high tide. But we were tired and the beach was full of bottom anglers so we could not fish the spots that have structure. Question - do you kill and gut the fluke before you stuff them in your cooler bag? We dragged them for hours through the sand on a stringer… annoying.
Caught a 17in at sandy hook this morning. Properly hooked. Somehow it managed to swallow my 6in jerk shad on a ball jig while I was getting my pliers. Not salvageable. So I cut the lines and took it home. Technically illegal. Any advice? Would a game warden give me pass if he sees the fish being gut hooked ? I guess not. People would make it look like to keep shorts. So throw back even though it’ll die? Thanks
That was some beautiful water! Love the quick drop off so close! Thanks again!
The water is immaculate
Titanium torzite…you were close! Thanks for the support Joe, love the videos.
Torzite! Damn couldn’t remember that. Thanks for building an awesome rod bud.
Nice fishing and great video.
What make bucktail are you using.
These are Spro 1/2oz
The water looks really clear! Heading to Sandy Hook NJ tomorrow
The water is immaculate. Enjoy the hook
Wow!! What a beautiful day!!!
The best!
I wonder if gulp makes that grub with a orange tail? Would really match the hatch (sand crab) great vid.
Yeah, they make an orange, but for some reason, it feels softer and cheaper. I prefer the pink and pearl.
Nice fishing! What’s the reason behind placing the tape beneath the fish as it shakes, opposed to on top while measuring?

Go out and catch your own damn fish! Wise words, Joe! Keep the vids coming 🤙🏾
Thanks for watching!
Nice video! Was at sandy yesterday, bites are shutting down over there i feel.
Could be but that usually holds on to fish for a while.

Yeah I buy cheapies sometimes when I’m on vacation and catch a bunch too
I went out Saturday morning, and the waves were super high and windy. The rod looks nice too
Thanks Lou. Yeah Saturday was sporty
Great video I’m gonna get my chance tomorrow.✌🏻
Good luck bud.
Looks like most were hitting right at the first cut
Yeah as the tide was changing, the flow was changing. Had to keep moving

As someone that doesn’t follow sports at all, I agree with all of that.

I typed a reply twice. Idk why it’s not showing on my side
Not sure. Only got your second reply. Appreciate the effort.

Yeah I don’t think there’s many passes given. I’d say release it and hope for the best even though it’ll probably just enter the food chain.
Hello sir is this a jig metal lure?
The first lure is a Duel Hardcore minnow flat 110sp which is plastic. The bucktail is 1/2oz lead
