This has been a good summer for fishing the Upper bay. the White perch fishing has been great and the Rockfishing has been fairly good, I've been able to catch keeper size Rock on most trips but it has been another hot summer, the hottest yet on record (who could ever deny global warming exists now?) But the hot and dry summer also brought some fish up the bay that are normally from the ocean and lower bay. I've been seeing plenty of Spanish Mackerel jumping out of the water, and have heard reports of people catching a lot of Puppy Drum, Speckled trout and even Kingfish.
I've been surprised a few times this summer, once I got into a school of Redfish,
and another day I caught a 18" Blackdrum. I didn't even know what the Black drum was at first, Im used to catching mainly fresh water fish in these parts, I actually thought it was a Sheephead at first (there have been reports of Sheephead caught lately to).
Theres also been the usual Bluefish, but I've heard of some people catching some huge ones, up to 19lbs

One of the most exciting parts of fishing is when you finally catch a fish with your hook because you what to find out what type of fish you caught. It feels so good when you are catching different fish. And most often, you discover fish that you haven’t seen before. Not only are you having fun, but you are also learning.
yea just the other day I caught a Rockbass from a local reservoir, first time I ever caught one, it fought well for its size
