Barnegat Light, New Jersey

Keeper caught. Which means tautog fishing ended (1 fish daily possession limit). Donated the rest of my hard earned sandfleas to anglers nearby.

Woke up early to scrape the beach for sandfleas, which I used to catch my first tautog of the season. It was short, but fought hard.

Last catch for today. Had I known this is what gets them to bite, I would've invested in a sand flea rake instead of constantly buying Gulp!

17 incher. So close---it's the largest for today.

They are snacking on these fleas.

Another with sand fleas.

Season is almost over and Im hesitant to buy more Gulp!.
