Porgy's and Ling have been biting on the Morning trips at 7am. Blues have been hitting hard with a few Striped Bass mixed in on the night 7pm trips.
The surprisingly strong east wind made it tough on both boat and shore fishermen Saturday, but it's supposed to be lighter on Sunday in time for the Governor's Surf Fishing Tournament at Island Beach State Park. The east wind also prevented a repeat of a showing of small blues in the Bay Head surf, but I managed to tempt a 19-inch striper in Point Pleasant Canal on a Tsunami Shad
I stepped in it today. Best day of the year!!! Lots of keepers and lots of shorts.
Tom Made both morning and afternoon trips again today. On the morning trip we started out were we caught the fish (blues) yesterday but only caught a few.
The Golden Eagle from Belmar picked away at blues all morning, but then got into big bass attacking schools of bunkers in the afternoon as a 40-pound bass was boated and others lost. Joe Melillo weighed in a 20 1 8-pound striped bass at Castaways Tackle in Point Pleasant that was baited at night in the local surf by Terry Martuscelli of Brick, while Mike Commune from Brick did even better with a 25-pounder.
