Normally, a NE wind is the worst thing for anglers -- but bottom fishing is so poor now that the Ocean Explorer from Belmar is looking forward to it tomorrow as it may shake up the present dead fishery. Only a few short blackfish were caught during Saturday's quest for big tog in deeper waters, and most areas were completely dead in Sunday's rain.
But unfortunately the fishing was very poor again,worse day I have seen yet. So no fishing tomorrow,I will let you know the next nice to go here on my website.
We had a nice start to the day today, but the ocean got cranky as the day progressed. Fishing was not good just a handful of nice Ling, big Perch, some eels and a few short Cod and Tog.
The Ocean Explorer from Belmar was scheduled to fish today, but there were was no report as of 5 20. The Big Mohawk from Belmar is planning on sailing Saturday and Sunday at 7 a. m. for blackfish.

Vinny D'Anton of Wall has been getting some daylight action with small blues near his winter home in Sarasota, but after 45 minutes they turn off completely on his Chug Bug. Other anglers fishing from shore there also couldn't catch anything after that early bite before D'Anton went back to his car for a plug that often works in N. J. after the surface action dies out.
