We did catch some fish on each spot we went to today, but overall, it was slow. The big fish was around 9lbs today but was not in the pool so the pool winner was around 7lbs.
He saw bass of various sizes from shorts to 25 pounds plus 10-to-15-pound blues pushing adult bunkers up on the beaches even as the northeast wind made it difficult to cast even heavy lures. I have caught school stripers almost to the end of January some years when water temperatures didn't drop too low, but asking for another big bass blitz and even bluefish in January is truly praying for a miracle even though the water remains warm enough.
Atlantic Highlands blackfishing December 30 30 December 2015 Capt. Tom After two days of bad weather we made our 3 4 day blackfishing trip today. We all had a good laugh today when a seagull landed on Ben's head (see gallery).
There was a large left over swell, dirty water and a strong easterly current. Moved out into deeper water and had some action with mostly shorts to finish the day.
The fishing action has been pretty good and steady of a mixed bag of 10 to 40 fish per person due to the warm water and nice weather. Chris Ecochard from New Millford, NJ was recently out and had a mixed bag catch including a nice 17lb Cod, that won the pool.
