The Jamaica from Brielle reported more tuna bites during Friday nights trip, but better catching on Saturday night. There were no hits on snagged bunkers during a brief attempt as it soon turned into a sightseeing trip when a big whale escorted by small dolphins was spotted in just 38 feet off Seaside Park, and they followed it around while taking video for the folks back in Pittsburgh to see.

Miss Belmar Princess marked lots of blues during a rough trip in the gusty north wind. Allen Riley sent along a Wednesday surf report from Frank Huza of Aberdeen who took the long walk to the tip of Sandy Hook where he saw about 15 tunny caught around 8 a. m. Huza caught two of about 3 and 6 pounds by blind casting a Manno 1-ounce Silver jig -- and saw something amazing -- a small dolphin (fish) chasing bait at his feet.

A couple of blues interfered with that fishing, but Many still switched to a small Tsunami Eel which produced short stripers as small as 13 inches. There was no repeat of the striper bite in the Spring Lake surf this morning, though Vinnie D'Anton of Wall released one of about 28 inches on a Chug Bug after raising two others in a very large swell, Mike Monte, a Shore native who has long run a tackle shop in Nantucket, raised three bass before I arrived -- and everything went dead.

The Canyon Runner report from Sunday follows 's 60' Canyon Runner Trip - 10 8 16 Yes - Saturday, October 9, 2016 Double Digit Tuna - Big Yellowfin and Longfin and tons of Mahi to 20 pounds.

Miss Belmar Princess reported seven to eight jumbo blues from 8 to 18 pounds on at a time this morning. The Prowler 5 from Atlantic Highlands had good porgy fishing on the N. Y. side today, but won't be sailing Sunday as there's no place to hide from strong northeast winds.
