Some great fishing and eating there .      This is one of the pro's of living in NJ, we have a fantastic saltwater fishery 

Everyone can’t wait to leave NJ when they retire .

I have a hard time  leaving here after knowing how to have a ton of fun in our fishery here .

from Striped bass , sea bass , fluke , Mahi , tuna , triggers , and tog my year is full .

Throw in bluefish , cobia , Albies, Bonita . Lots of other fun fighting stuff to fill in the holes during the seasons .

 

if only gas would go back down to 2 bucks a gallon . Lol

Quality fish Dan.  Florida anglers be envious of those. Congrats 

We saw a few tanks yesterday , that just wouldn’t commit .

I think I have figured out a pretty good system .

tweaked it a bit this morning . Can’t wait to try it tomorrow in hopefully better conditions .…

batteries and up keep may pose a real challenge

what tackle are you using on them? Nice to go light for the small ones but get one over 12lbs they really fight, any over 20 can beat up light tackle pretty good.

Yes it will definitely happen! Won't be that same feeling as turning that key when I had my mako with the 351 windsor in the morning.

I would think there will be some major testing offshore with the engines.

Marinas will be installing charging ports, with your experience you could be on the forefront.

Fishing light stuff .

3500 and 4000 series . Fishing on Fenwick Elite  inshore medium heavy .

great for small fish. , but tons of back bone for the larger ones

Some Commuter Airlines already buying electric planes to use in 2023. If you can fly a plane, you can drive a boat. The question is how far? There are no charging stations in the ocean. Yet
