Surf Fishing Ocean Co. New Jersey December 29th (Fish Scared Me)

Last fishing trip of 2023! I had an idea to try and find some larger striped bass migrating off the beaches of Cape May, New Jersey. I tried, and I failed. The next week I traveled back to Ocean Co. New Jersey in hopes to catch my last fish of 2023. I closed 2023 with a BANG! I caught a few nice fish in the early morning. My last ditch effort paid off! The last fish of the year came late. I wasn't expecting it, and it scared the 5H!T out of me!

Check out John skinner fishing he’s the king of the north east and has some incredible books on how to target bass and other species from the surf with all types of techniques. He also has some of the greatest underwater videos seeing how fluke, blackfish, striper and others all react it’s very informative and just an overall awesome experience every time he makes a new video. You also make some pretty awesome content.
