Well the first tropical storm of the year dropped well over 6+ inches of rain during the day and overnight Friday June 7th 2013.
Woke up at 4:00 am to go out of South Amboy for some striped bass fishing. Arrived there around 5 am and loaded up my yak. Dropped in and trolled a tube and worm for about an hour until reaching the moored sailboats in Perth Amboy. Even though it was incoming tide the water from the Raritan River was pushing out hard into the bay. It was an easy 2.5 mph drift with the wind and the river current. I even gave the water a taste and it was fresh water. I finally gave at slack tide when the really muddy water came down the river. Nice day to get out fishing as always.
