Yup thats right , the revrend was back on the lakes yesterday , haveing a hard time finding the bluegill and crappie so i left the anchors up and left the boat drift along with the wind, got a coupel of nice ones (9-10 inch) and had a few beers ... but this lake is fairly shallow (3-6 feet) so im not sure how fish react on a shallow lake with no thermocline in hot arse florida ....
anyway got and fishermen out here ? gonna start my bass stuff next week since i got a pole last week for bass so now i just need to figure out some good bait to use for bass , all i got are repalas
set my other pole set up for alligator gar , man those things are fun to reel in
Did some Hardcore Drfiting yesterday with good bait

I went fishing a few weeks ago off Barnegat Point and caught eight bluefish and a "bonita" (sic?) which was a flat, fluke-type fish. I ate the bonita later that day. It tasted good. Didn't take home the bluefish, though - don't like them. I let the skipper keep them.
I kind of like sailing better than fishing, it's more fun IMO and less bloody...:icesangel

I have a friend who owns a small sailboat ('19? maybe shorter) down at a marina on the Delaware River, we go out for a sail every so often on the river. I've been learning the ropes, no pun intended. It's a lot of fun, I definitely like it better than a motorboat. Nothing like having the whole side of the boat nearly in the water, as it tilts in the crosswind!

MEAN TIME WHO THE HELL TOLD YOU A BONITA IS FLAT? THEY ARE STUPID A BONITA IS A OFFSHOOT OF THE SPANISH FLYFISH FAMILY, SO THEY ARE NO WAY NEAR FLAT. THEY ARE BLODDY AS HELL, BUT GOOD TASTING IF YOU FRY IT UP RIGHT. I REMEMBER WHEN I USED TO SPEND MY SUMMERS AT POINT PLEASENT WITH MY FAMILY.... I USED TO GO FLUKE FISHING LIKE EVERY OTHER DAY. NOW IF YOU WANT TO GO FISHING, TRY MAKO SHARKING.... THAT'S AN ADRENALINE RUSH.
Have fun learning to sail, and just remember...they aren't ropes, they are lines 
Oh yeah, sorry skipper...
At least I remembered it's called a "head"!
The dude who told me it was a bonita had somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-9 Coronas in his system at the time, so his designation was highly dubious to say the least. I dunno, all I know is, it tasted good off the skillet with a little butter and cilantro.

It was kind of like a flounder, almost. A real flat, pancake-like fish, whitish-gray in appearance, some dark dots towards the top. It wasn't very big, it was much smaller than the bluefish we were reeling in, I guess like about 8 inches in length and maybe 7 inches in cross-section. The guys on the boat made a big deal when I caught it, they said it was an unusual fish to find in that area (off the central Jersey coastline) and one dude said it was a bonita. That's about all I can tell you, it could have been Charlie the Tuna for all I know about fishies.

Point Pleasant is more north than I usually go. Most of the time I stick to LBI and all points south (OC, AC, Avalon, North Wildwood etc.) I think I was there as a kid and got zapped by a jellyfish pretty bad.
I must say, they've really cleaned up the Jersey shore since I was a kid, there used to be all kinds of nasty lifeforms in the water back in the 80's, and most of them liked to sting human beings. It's so much better now.
