New State Record Albacore Tuna

NJ Fish & Wildlife   Interesting, reading over the saltwater NJ state records. (Albacore Tuna was caught this past October.) Striped bass are now a "retired" listing. (I sure want to catch some when I "retire.") Apparently because you can no longer keep any over 38 inches, I believe it is. 

(I'd love to haul home a 50-inch striper to show my wife, but I admit the limit will protect the species.) 

Also, a 13-pound & some hybrid striper caught off Brigantine. Now that's a real story to research if anyone has the time.

So Far I'm Behind Last Year's Score

Got the urge to get out and fish. Otherwise, I'd have stayed home and continued my long quest to understand WordPress before I build a site. That one's going to be my author site, my main hub, eventually hosting galleries of photos, too, but not nearly as many as I have on Windows and on hard drives. One of my friends suggested I sell my book through a website, because he's seen how hard it is to make a go of being sponsored by a tackle company. I acknowledge it's possible my book on microlight spinning for trout won't get published by a small traditional publisher. If I do run out of all possibilities in that respect, I'll turn my attention to self-publishing. Either way, a website where I might be able to promote my book better than I can on Blogger is important to have.

I stayed out in the rain--using my Honda as shelter for most of the time--going on two hours. I never got a hit. Used orange Power Bait by the Main Boat Launch. So far this cold weather season I'm behind last year's score. Will be back. I might fish a river next Tuesday, but Fred and I intend to fish Round Valley on the 20th.
