With the inshore bluefin fishing also a slam dunk every time we decided to spend all day Wednesday with the Ashley Labo group having fun on these fish. This trip was donated by the Canyon Runner to the Big Brothers and Big Sister Organization of Monmouth County and Ashley was the winner of the silent auction. We are happy supporters of this organization and so too is Ashley. I guess our good deed was paid off as as soon as we had lines in the water at 5am we had fish on.

There were a few misses to begin the trip but by 8am they had 8 fish to their credit and then things slowed up. These first few fish were caught on jigs and sardines on the drift around the Princess area. We then went on the troll around 10am and starting picking 4 or 5 on the troll. Once we located a big concentration of fish it was back on the drift and jigging and chunking and sardines added the rest. In total with finished with 20 bluefin to our credit with and over of 54" and and under and 18 released.

By the way - most of the fish were caught on jigs - jigs regular gold old hammered diamond jigs!
