It was a nice mid-winter day for offshore fishing, and there were plenty of herring to be jigged when the Golden Eagle sailed out to the 17 Fathoms area. The trip was for mackerel, and about 60 were jigged among the herring. The Golden Eagle will be sailing again at 7:30 a.m. from Belmar on Sunday  -- and the forecast is great once again with temperatures up to 46 degrees and 5-to-10-mph NW winds before it may get windier later in the afternoon before a NE blow on Monday. The Ocean Explorer at Belmar was still in the yard today, and won't be fishing again until further notice.
