Better weather didn’t help blackfishing

The Ocean Explorer from Belmar reported less wind and nicer conditions on the ocean Sunday, but the blackfish weren’t chewing. Only a few keeper tog and some shorts were caught after there had been a better bite in rougher conditions.

Tomorrow starts with east winds at 10-15 knots — but increasing to 15-20 in the afternoon. Sleet is likely in the morning with rain, snow and freezing rain all possible later.
