Blues biting — plus the first little tunny

Many boats didn’t sail today, but the Golden Eagle from Belmar got out to find bluefish providing hot early jigging along wiith some overdue inshore little tunny — before the tide died out and the bite turned to a pick. that boat will be fishing for tuna tomorrow

Capt. Ron Santee will get back to fluking tomorrow with his Fishermen from from Atlantic Hghlands, and notes that Kelly Riley’s 5 1/8-pound monthly pool winner is vulnerable. A couple of 8-pounders have been boated recently, but the anglers weren’t in the month[y pool.

The Big Mohawk from Belmar decided to wait a day before resuming fluking, but will be sailing in the morning before running a charter on thursday.

Tomorrow’s forecast is for west winds at 5 knots before going southwest in the afternoon.

The Jamaica from Brielle has an offshore tuna trip departing at 11 p.m. — and there are a couple of spots still open. Call 732 528-5014.
