Fluke hit in NJ Bight even in south wind

Another good fluke report from Captain Ron Santee on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands

Nice day out there once again for the Monday crew.

South wind came up a bit earlier than expected but it didn’t shut down the bite, hard to beleave. Current got fast so we got the lead out to get it done. Few guys with their three including Brett L, Bill V and Joe the plumber (JTP). Some Customers had 2 with nice Sea Bass in the mix also. Several area’s holding fish but you have to work it to catch the keepers. 

WE ARE NOT AVAILABLE THIS WEDNESDAY……… (Other than that we sail every day.)

Captain Ron Santee reported another fine fluke bite on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands even after the south wind came on. Heavy sinkers were required, but the fish kept biting. That boat is chartered on Wednesday.

The small Gulp sand eels have been working the best with a plain, simple rig. Weather looks good all week, don’t miss the bite!!

FISHERMEN/TUESDAYS FISHING REPORT

Offshore trolling off NJ holding up

Ancreas Toy reports”Capt Vince and mate Shane hosted newcomer to the Toy John Goullett and buddy Joe. The decision was made Canyon yellowfin or bust. Had a decent window to get him out today before he headed back to Florida. The boys arrived on the scene, found the life and got locked in. Once the dust settled and multiple bites, they ended up 8-9 and heading for home before lunchtime, great job boys!
