LBI Fishing in January

[M5]

The weather this winter here in Jersey has been nothing short of excellent.

I keep my 2120 on a lift year round so it's available for days like last Saturday.

I usually get out whenever Barnegat Bay is not frozen and the Westerly Winds cooperate...

We've had our best Striper season in about a dozen years.. Loving it!!! 8)

I took a ride last Saturday hoping to find a few stragglers hanging around..

They seem to be gone. Oh well

I even tried some bottom fishing for Tog or whatever might be there..

No luck... But still a great morning on the water..

Here's a few pictures of the weather conditions out there... 8)


Nothing like a Pilot House boat.

Good for you!!! Im kicking myself for even winterizing mine this year!!! Plenty of days I could have been out there!!! Nice pictures!

I was up in Old Barney about 1pm on Saturday and saw a boat come in off the ocean, perhaps it was you. I sure was wishing that I was on it.

That very well could have been me.

It was around that time when I returned to the inlet.

Even when the fishing has died down, it's still very peaceful to go for a ride
when there are very few other boats out on the water..

Having the pilot house makes all the difference.

I use one of those Mr. Heater® Portable Buddy® Portable Propane Heater's.

Keeps the Pilot House nice and warm.

This time of year is one of the best times to circle the island.

I'll run South on the inside of Barnegat Bay, exit the bay at Little Egg Inlet
and run North on the outside, in the Atlantic.

Very Kool 8)

The Old Lady won't ride on the Motorcycle if it's below 50 degrees, but
she will go for a ride on the Parker....

I also believe that being able to run the motor all year long is better for it in the long run.



See ya,

Kevin M5,
Could this be you?

 

[M5]

That would've been a really Kool picture, but that's not me.

Looks like a walk around.

Nice picture though......

Thanks,

See ya,
Kevin M5

Good to hear that you are still getting out in the 2120. Nice pictures. We put ours in storage last month until April. Water temps. are low and the fish have gone. Will most likely do the Florida vacation thing for about a month,it's getting colder in Del. and their talking about snow..Dave
