We are getting the Bomb ready for launch in a few days. Yellowfin Marine Detailing just took care of the detail work, and we will be doing a few maintenance items over the next few days before we drop her in the water in anticipation of April 1 togging.

Fishing tomorrow and Sunday!SAILING SATURDAY AND SUNDAY FOR BLACKFISH!

Capt. Howard Bogan reported We had very good fishing for jumbo porgies on the Saturday offshore trip. The Ocean Explorer from Belmar had a nice day on the ocean Saturday with good bottom life to keep everyone working at it as two legal blackfish were hooked along with a few shorts, some cod and a jigged pollock.

NOAA Fisheries issued a warning to New Jersey fishermen a few years ago warning them that they'd better learn how to fish for red drum as climate change would be sending southern species further to the north. There was no indication in the NOAA Fisheries prediction that the fisheries scientists there are aware that the Central Jersey Shore was the place to be for red drum anglers a century ago -- and that their reappearance would only be a return to the norm of a hundred years ago.

The weather is looking good for the next week, especially this President's weekend. We look forward to the nicer weather and catching Ling, Cod, and Blackfish.
