by The new coalition of New Jersey, New York and Connecticut governors acting together in selectively reopening the economy as the pandemic shows signs of diminishing took a big step this weekend by reopening marinas, boatyards and marine manufacturers in all three states. Unfortunately, both charters and rentals remain prohibited.
Party and charter boat skippers remain out of work, and are finding that they don’t qualify for government programs aiding small business.
Small craft warnings are up until midnight for southwest gusts to 30 knots. The morning marine forecast is for northeast winds at 10-15 with gusts to 20 knots.
Capt. Jim Freda was able to get out on Raritan Bay with family this week and had no problem jigging and trolling large stripers from his Shore Catch.
Only for the wealthy. A backward step, hopefully leading to 2 forward steps soon.

fishing this weekend was up and down Saturday wasn’t too good and Sunday was a little bit better. But the week ahead doesn’t look great either weather wise with plenty of April showers in the forecast add a continuation of spring cool
