We have about 4 or 5 keepers on the boat and about 8 or 9 shorts and dropped several fish. Not a lot of boats out today from Atlantic Highlands Harbor.

We had a slow start in the morning, but did get some action on the shorts, just could not put a keeper in the boat.
Though the main focus has been on clamming for stripers in Raritan Bay, and both live bunkers and trolling Stretch plugs have also been producing bass, Dave Lilly of Hazlet found Tony Maja medium bunker spoons were even more effective Saturday afternoon as he trolled limits of bass over 20 pounds in the back of the bay.At Fisherman's Den in Belmar Marina, Bob Matthews reports improved winter flounder fishing, while some legal blackfish are being caught in Point Pleasant Canal.

The water is warming the bait is here and so are the Stripers.Cliff was the man today getting the first keeper on the boat for 2014 and he didn't stop there he later landed a 25 lb fish.
Sailed with a light crowd and decided to put in an effort and do some local Blackfishing today. Few keeper Blackfish with some short life and a few keeper Cod. High hook had 3 keeper Blackfish and a keeper Cod. Some other anglers had 1 keeper and some shorts and a few had a tough day.
The guys picked away all morning boxing 8 nice keepers to 17 lbs along with 14 shorts and a winter flounder.A short attempt at trolling produced one more keeper and a few strikes before heading back to the dock.
