West winds bode well for fishing
With 10-15 knot west winds predicted for Monday, there should be good offshore fishing conditions.
The Ocean Explorer fished out of Belmar on Saturday and reported almost flat calm conditions except for a moderate east swell that probably slowed the bottom fishing. There was a slow pick of mostly small blackfish along with a few ling and small cod — but that could improve as the swell gets knocked down.
