For details on the event visit njexpo.com The northeaster is finally drawing to a close, and the shift to west winds should improve fishing and boating conditions for the weekend though a small craft advisory is posted to late Friday night for hazardous seas. Friday’s forecast is for 15-knot west winds gusting to 20 — plus 4-6-foot seas mostly from an east swell. At Belmar, the Big Mohawk will return to fluke fishing at 7 am. The Ocean Explorer will provide a last shot at the seasonal fluke pool as they are chartered Saturday. The Golden Eagle reported a decent Wednesday of bluefishing for 4-6-pounders on jigs as they picked away all day. The Jamaica from Brielle had another good catch Wednesday on their limited mid-range trip for bluefins, bonito and little tunny. One tuna was caught and another lost. They’ve added more of the limited trips on both the Jamaica and Paramount. Reservations must be made by calling 732 528-5014. There’s also room available on the Jamaica’s 5 p.m. Saturday 24-hour canyon trip. Capt. Tom Savastano reports there will be a mass at 10 a.m. tomorrow at Sacred Heart Church in Bay Head for The Hammer — Eddie Zimny, who passed away on Sept. 11. Eddie was one of the great old-timers at the Point Pleasant surf and canal.
