Went black fishing at the crack of dawn. Had to break a little ice in the Highbar Harbor canals. The ocean was like a lake at 6:30am. Went about 10 miles south of Barnegat Inlet.
Limited out by about 11:30am. Largest fish was around 10 pounds (see below picture). Green crab was the bait of choice.
Right back home was a little hairy. We had to cut across big tight seas the entire ride back.
