U guys got it all wrong.they are goin the other way.For the most part the Hudson fish are Dark back black lined.Chessepeake bass are lighter an have that violet color to em they where here in NJ till mid july as the big bunker stayed for a longer than usuall amount of time this yr an the fish stayed wit em. With water temps up in the mid 70's.This yrs run of good surf fish In NJ predominently went from 30-36 lbs not alot over 36 then there was a late run of some better fish but that didin't last.From mid july till bout the first week in august, In Montauk, the boats where just killin big bass one site i look at had 45-55lb fish on the docks every day never mind the ones that never hit the scales or net.thats about the time montauk pete took his over 50 bass..montauk has cooled of alittle on the giants the last 2 weeks my guess is they are in that area to the northeast of there.I told Nebe they where comin.A few days later he got his fish.If they keep pushin nort the cape should see some good ones soon.
