    Southwest winds at 10-20 knots with 3-5-foot seas and showers are predicted, but I wouldn t be surprised to see a couple of boats taking a shot since there are daily cash prizes that may be won by any boat able to find a tuna, wahoo, dolphin or marlin. The storm s impact will be felt on Tuesday with south winds at 35-45 knots and 10-foot seas, but improves rapidly after that.

    Posted on July 11, 2020 Raritan Bay Anglers postoned Fluke Tournament to Sunday It s unusual for a fluke tournament out of an inshore port to be postponed, as there s always someplace to fish for fluke in protected waters, but that s what the Raritan Bay Anglers did with their 30th annual fluke contest. I didn t receive a press release about that contest, but became aware of it when fluke pro dave Lilly called after Thursday s captains meeting to inform me that those seeking a postponement so the ocean might be fishable after the tropical storm outvoted those willing to settle the contest in Raritan Bay today.
