On his eighth trip out, Nick finally got his fish and got on the bragging board. At 20 pounds it's the largest weighed in here so far this year. It bit a live bait near Hog Island this morning. 

    If you want surfperch you should come out. It appears that a sandcrab molt is in progress, especially among the tiny ones. Thousands of 1/4"-3/8" sandcrab bodies line the beach and the perch are eating them. The one in the picture ate a Daiwa SP Minnow. There's a few baitfish around near the beach as well, so there's got to be a few stripers in the mix. Gage and I gave it a shot last night but all we got was sore shoulders. The full moon is next week, though, so get your casting arms in shape.
