CBBT to be or not to be?

Great fishing weather was in the forecast even though a cold front had just moved through the area bringing strong winds and lower temps. Sunny, 85 degrees, ssw winds at 5 mph, and 0-1ft seas. Spoke with William Ragulsky and Russell Hamm about meeting up to catch some fish. William was heading to the CBBT and Russell was headed to the HRBT. Before I could make a decision on who to go fishin with Russell decided to head out to the CBBT so I through my hat in.
Headed over to Ocean East 2 to grab some chowder clams and some tackle. Got to Alexander's at 0600 to see William already unloaded and catching some mole crabs for bait. The wind was a little higher than forecasted but the weather was nice.




After we got a bucket full of mole crabs we headed out on the water. The wind and current were rippin pretty hard. The chop in the pilings made it almost impossible to paddle let alone fish. We were kind of disappointed but it was decided to not try and risk heading out. Russell had arrived to the launch as we were coming back in so we decided to go get breakfast and then head over to the Little Creek jetty for some flounder.
We launched at an undisclosed area right beside the jetty and started lookin for fish. I was using gulp shrimp/swimming mullet and the mole crabs since we already had them. I caught a few small croaker right off in the rocks and tied one on the cv rod in hopes of somthing big coming around. After a few hours the first fish to be caught was a nice redfish by William on gudgeon. Russell's friend also caught one on swimming mullet. We fished the first jetty at the break and managed a few small flounder but none of legal size. My only flounder of the day was 11.5. There wasnt alot of fish around and bites were few and far between. William did manage a few more nice redfish. I caught a few more croakers, and nothing decided the croaker I was trolling looked appetizing.
Even without the fish it was an awesome day on the water. I was glad William and Russell were gracious enough to go out fishin with me and BB, this being only the 4th time BB had gone fishing on her kayak. I hope there are more trips in the future, and alot more fish!
BB flyin her pirate flag as usual.

Heading out.
