by The Golden Eagle from Belmar got into jigging bluefish early this morning, but that bite didn’t last long. Some limits were caught before a switch to sea bass produced the two allowed for some fares. A few ling and fluke were added.
Bob Correll ran up to Shrewsbury Rocks from Manasquan Inlet yesterday afternoon where he and his wife Mary Agnes had good action with short fluke plus a few keeper sea bass. He followed that up this afternoon with a family trip on his Sea Vee, but there was little current and almost no action. Bob managed a 16 1/4-inch fluke while son Kevin hooked a small sea bass — but the trip turned out to be successful as the whale action captured everyone’s attention!
Tomorrow is forecast to start with northeast winds at just 5-10 knots before going east in the afternoon.
Tight Lines 
While fishing the Farms aboard Another Grateful Day from Shark River today for seabass we pulled in this 10-12 pound monkfish. I’ve never seen one in over 50 years of fishing the Jersey shore. The fish was released.

Always a surprise, but I’ve caught several here and in other waters. Will discuss this in tonight’s blog.
