Massive Atlantic storm

Until the present storm clears out it will bed hard to find a fishable spot except in some back bays.

At least there is a shift coming on Tuesday from the south winds to west with gusts to 30 knots that should knock down the big seas.

Gale warning for Tuesday

A small craft advisory will become a gale watch along the Atlantic coast on Tuesday.

Capt. Mark DeBlasio reports from N.C. that the bluefin bite was slower yesterday though they still had a good catch. With the bad weather forecast some days may be lost, but he has a few available after that.

I’m back — I hope DeBlasio ! Thanks to Cyndi!

Capt. Mark De Blasio reports from N.C.:
