Keyport waterfront closed
After all the traffic noted in yesterday’s blog, the police closed the Keyport, N.J. waterfront which attracted crowds during a nice day. Presumably, that includes the ramp — though I couldn’t confirm that.
Capt. Arthur Stokes provided the first blackfish report in some time as he fished Sunday with Christian Griffith of Hamilton on the latter’s boat out of Belmar. They anchored in 70 feet and had decent action on crabs as three keepers were boated and many shorts returned.
There’s another nice day coming up as the morning marine forecast is for 5-10 knot southwest winds and 2-3-foot seas.
Be safe — and remember that minimum 6-foot distancing!
