Posted on August 8, 2021 Blues back off in rough ocean The steady bluefish jigging was tougher today in rain and wind, but the Golden Eagle from Belmar reported that those who stayed at the rail did all right — and sea bass were aded to the catch. The forecast is much better for Monday with north winds at 5 to 10 knots before going east in the afternoon — which bodes well for the bluefish bite. The Jamaica from Brielle has room on its last tilefish trip of the year at 10 p.m. Monday. The cost is $330, and reservations are available by calling 732 528-5014. They’ll be trying to find a tilefish bigger than the one Dennis Muhlenforth boated on the Voyager this year. The White Marlin Open promised full results on Saturday, but I’m still waiting.
