Posted on February 7, 2021 IGFA Auction ends Feb. 13 Anglers can help themselves and a good cause by googling IGFA Auction and bidding on some great fishing tackle and trips before the 6:30 p.m. deadline on Feb, 13. The Ocean Explorer from Belmar sailed for jumbo blackfish yesterday, but the wind blew even harder than expected and the seas got too rough as only a pool winner by Howard and a few ling were caught before an early return. The only life was in deeper waters. They’ll be searching for better weather to make the next attempt. Monday’s forecast is for northwest winds at 10-15 knots with gusts to 20 before diminishing to 5-10 knots in the afternoon.
