Posted on February 21, 2021 Ocean Explorer finds some bottom life It didn’t amount to much, but at least there was some life on bottom whven the Ocean Explorer got out from Belmar today. It was breezy, but fishable — and bergalls were active on the bottom. One legal blackfish was boated and a few shorts plus a short cod were released while a few ling came aboard. That was enough tp justify another attempt in good weather — perhaps on Wednesdy. The lighter northwest winds didn’t last for long, as they shift to southwest tomorrow at 15-20 knots with gusts to 30 and rain.
