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!

The Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands has been picking keeper fluke . Fishing pro Gen Wong bagged four plus a big sea bass yesterday. That oat will resume sailing Sunday.

Trohy doormats at Nantucket
The Viking Fleet at Montauk reports “Capt JR reports a decent trip onboard the Viking Starship. The morning bite was ok with all quality Fluke coming over the rail. The change of tide definitely slowed things a bit, but we continued picking away all day. It was certainly a quality over quantity day with 5-8 pound fish making up a large portion of the catch. A couple double digit monsters kept everyone dialed in. We were very appreciative of everyone who fished hard all day and put forth a great effort.Capt JR reports a decent trip onboard the Viking Starship.

Decent action on fluke and small blues in NY/NJ Bight
It’s no slaughter, but fluke and blues are keeping anglers busy.

Hot tuna bite continues
Mark DeBlasio of Blue Runner from Pint Pleasant reports “Back out with Bill McLaughlin and crew. Got on a good bite pretty quickly after setting out and stacked up the Yellowfin all afternoon. Just as the sun was going down had a big bite that we fought for almost 2 hrs on a 50 standup. Finally got a beautiful 90” class Bluefin boat side for the release. On the drift at night it was non stop Bluefin action with 50-55” class fish on bait and jig. Trolled a few more hours in the morning, releasing another 15 Yellowfin before wrapping it up. Over 30 Yellowfin and 20 Bluefin on the trip for this 3 man crew with majority released.
