Though fishing wasn't good on long drifts, the kids had a great time as they shouted out the slogan on Matraxia's shirt -- Shut up and fish!Capt. Stan Zagleski said the lack of drift also made for slow fluking on his Elaine B II from Highlands, but action improved with the afternoon wind.

At least that was the case in the bluefin tuna fleet Joe Reap took his Reaper from Manasquan offshore at 4 a. m., and we did get lucky once in the morning when I was trolling the big Boston Whaler east from the Reasor area. A very surprising report came from the Golden Eagle out of Belmar as they got into 8-to-10-pound blues on both bait and jigs.

Fluking remains good for keepers in the bay, with some big fish being reported by Capt. Stan Zagleski on his Elaine B. II from Highlands when wind and current are together. POINT PLEASANT TO BARNEGAT INLET Fisherman's Supply in Point Pleasant had an unusual report of yellowfins being chunked during the day on Tuesday in Lindenkohl Canyon.

Tank Matraxia and Marty Gras from Lyndhurst got into bigger fluke offshore of Sandy Hook with Capt. Kevin Cole from Brown's in Keyport. Matraxia had four keepers up to 5 1 2 pounds, but lost the fish of the day when a fluke of about 8 pounds did a back flip when netted by Cole -- jumping out of the net and spitting the jig.
