Needless to say, there was no boat fishing today -- and there probably won't be tomorrow. The steady rain combined with the howling northeaster to probably also knock out shore fishing.

At this time the two main options for fishing when weather permits would be remaining in the bay and seeing some strong action on smaller fish or traveling offshore to take a shot at tuna and billfish.

The first fall northeaster often produces a surf blitz, but that wasn't the case Wednesday morning in the Spring Lake surf where Vinnie D'Anton got into the first good showing of surf stripers the previous morning as he raised eight to his Chug Bug and landed half of them up to 30 inches. We went out again Tuesday afternoon to release four small stripers casting the small Tsunami shad in Raritan Bay along with a 13 -inch sea bass among lots of little ones, plus legal porgies up to 12.

9-28-16 We started out pretty nice today but it changed quickly. We had good fishing for the Porgy Chops today,everyone went home with some sweet eating fish.

We will not be fishing tomorrow, Thursday 9-29-16, due to the N. E. winds. We will keep you posted, if we are fishing on fishing Friday.
