Photos, oh we get photos, we get your photos every day!
Looking over the dozens and dozens (read: hundreds) of photo submissions I’ve received thus far at The Fisherman this season, it would appear that many folks are finding some terrific action! While doing my best to sort by date, the song Man Smart (Woman Smarter) starting playing in my head.
Now, I know it’s actually a calypso song made popular first by Harry Belafonte, but it was the Grateful Dead’s version that was rattling around in my cage; so I popped an old bootleg from Pittsburgh from 1987, listening to the Grateful Dead and Neville Brothers doing a live medley of Iko Iko and Man Smart (Woman Smarter) while labeling this week’s photo gallery.
So what’s that have to do with fishing? I don’t know, ask these lady reelers!
Elizabeth Ildefonso put a lot of time in at Jersey City this spring, and was rewarded with her first ever keeper in early May under the watchful eye of the other Lady!
A bundled up Valerie Seefelt shows off a nice striped bass she caught while fishing at Manasquan Inlet on May 10.
Kimberly D’Andrea was on Side Money trolling a green mojo in the Raritan Bay this spring where she caught and released this beauty.
Sometimes the men are smarter, as when Paul LaRosa took his wife Shay along for the opening day of fluke in Great Bay; he caught an 18-incher, but Shay scored the 6.6-pounder!
“I had a hunch to target weakfish over a grass patch and it certainly paid off,” said Taryn Leigh back on May 13, adding the weakie ate a pink jerk shad doused with Finessence.
Capt. Joe Occhipinti said the Little Hawk had the biggest striped bass ever on the boat this spring, one taping out at 52 inches weighing in at 55 pounds for angler Janine Hill.
Eleven-year-old Angelina Defilippo of Point Pleasant caught this 6-pound tautog in April while fishing with her dad Joe Flip on an inshore rock pile.
