Gary,
I guess you fished July 1st. I was on the lower basin July 2nd with 15 other boats. none trolling, all pretty much sitting still and pulling out smallies. DEP launched and checked everyones credentials. I saw them pulling the boat out at the shovelcut afterwards and they said the biggest stringer was 2 trout about 5 lbs each. it was a great day weatherwise pretty calm. cant wait to go back up there.we got 4 nice smallies. and lost 1 trout all on sawbellies from Bob's.
