The Goldden Eagle from Belmar reports “The BLUES continue to bite!

It took a little while to get them started today, but once they got going, we had a good pick for most of the day where we held a couple of fish on. We would get lulls when the BLUES backed off before coming back to a pick and, at times, we had shots of up to 5 BLUES on at once!

We finished up with MANY LIMITS of BLUES, along with a nice showing of JUMBO SEA BASS on board!

With little drift to start with, the south wind against tide was a killer. Chef Lo killer, but Chef Lou boated a 6 pound. 13-ouncer

The Golden Eagle from Belmar once again had many limits of 4-10-pound blues by anchoring and chumming off northern NJ Some bonito, little tunny and sea bass were added.

Capt. Ron Santee reported a slow start to fluking on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands due to lack of drift, but ended up alright with fluke to 6 2/3 pounds.

Yesterday’s school bluefin report from Andreas Toy was actually a recent one.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar got into limits of 4-10-pound blues today the old-fashioned way — chumming at anchor. Some Spanish mackerel and sea bass were added on jigs. The canyon trip produced an 80-pound yellowfin plus mahi.

Andreas Toy had a fine bluefin report as follows “Had Ilya and the boys out today for some inshore bluefin. Loaded up the livewell and went searching, found an acre of sardines on top, set up on them with peanuts and the magic happened. Had 2 on the whole time,for first time tuna fishermen. Great job guys.

The NJ fluke season is almost over, but those fish remain abundant when the south wind isn’t howling. The Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands is going to try sneaking in a trip just before the wind comes up tomorrow.

Andreas Toyhad another hot school bluefin catch to report – “Had Ilya and the boys out today for some inshore bluefin. Loaded up the livewell and went searching, found an acre “of sardines on top, set up on them with peanuts and the magic happened. Had 2 on the whole time,for first time tuna fishermen. Great job guys.”

That summed up Capt. Ron Santee’s report — with a poor forecast for tomorrow

Fisher Price IV reports a red hot bite of school bluefins off NJ Bight with fish being released constantly

The Golden Eagle from Belmar had a boat limit catch of bluefish in the 2-5-pound class plus some little tunny on Friday as jigs with tails worked best.

Capt. Bob Pisano had invited me to fish for giant tuna as some had been spotted at an inshore wreck. We were greeted by a gusty NW and rough sea before hearing a radio report about a plane hitting the WTC. There was speculation that we might be at war; Even the dedicated Pisano was uncomfortable with that and we headed in. The giant plumes of smoke weren’t visible to us as the NW blew them down.

“09/09/2026

We had some SPANISH MACKEREL and BLUES today, picking a couple to a few on the drifts inshore. We had some good readings at times along with some fish up on top in the bait.

The action slowed down as the wind came on, so we finished up the day targeting FLUKE and SEA BASS.“

NJ anglers will be able to fill bags with abundant sea bass when that limit increases.

Fluking was good today for those using enough weight to hold bottom.
