RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: RE: Handeni 43-101The problems in NJ are dogfish and huge skates, especially in the summer. I've never caught a cow-nosed ray. I just recently found out you can actually eat the "wings" on the skates, but I haven't tried it yet. The stripers now are usually a bit smaller than in the fall, when the big cows come in. Very hard to catch them in the summer, so everyone just targets fluke, bluefish (I like catching them, but don't eat them unless they're smoked), weakfish (not many around now, but I remember the late '60's and 70's), and tautog. Our winter flounder fishing is under extreme limits now (2 fish), so everybody's given up. I remember about a decade ago, I'd be painting my sinkers yellow and chumming corn and dog food in the back bays. No mackerel or whiting anymore, but the cod seem to be coming back.
