North Atlantic Ocean (US/NJ)

One last summer fishing trip to the shore. Today's catch: Fluke, Bluefish, Tautog, and Black Seabass

Last catch for today. Scary dark clouds creeping in...also I'm out of bait.

A generous angler called it a day and gave me the rest of his bloodworms. I put them in my tautog rig and caught this baby tog.

The largest one today was half an inch short of a keeper. I also noticed other anglers were catching them more with sandfleas, while my greencrabs were only getting tiny nibbles.

Tautog were biting, but not as much as last month

The flukes are not biting as much---and when they do they are tiny

Another fluke

Half an inch away from being a keeper
