Fisher Price IV sent the following email about Tuesday’s Raritan Bay trip from Highlands “Tuesday 4/9 – Had Paul and crew back out this morning. Absolutely beautiful morning on the water. Unfortunately fishing was tough for us this morning. Managed to box 2 keepers and release another 8 fish (mix of shorts and overs). Plenty of readings where ever we went, just had lockjaw. Fishing will get better next few days once we get off this moon. We have availabilty Thursday 4/11 afternoon 1-7pm as well as one spot available Saturday 4/13 morning at 6am.”
