by Blackfish anglers have been generally finding lots of shorts while working for a few keepers — but have also enjoyed a fairly common bonus of keeper cod such as this 28-incher caught by Dave Rubek while fishing yesterday with Capt. Joe Massa on My Three Sons out of Morgan Marina.
Surprisingly, that cod had an adult bunker in its stomach — the first time I’ve ever heard of cod feeding on them.
At Belmar, Capt. Michael Ardolino said striper jigging on Miss Belmar Princess started slow this morning — but then turned “insane” for keepers primarily on shads.
The Golden Eagle is shifting over to stripers in the morning at 7:30.
Antonio Salvatore used his birthday present Tsunami outfit from Charlie’s Bait & Tackle in Normandy Beach to not only catch his first legal striper but also to release it.
There’s also some hot surf fishing going on at Fortescue beach, where Higbee’s Bait & Tackle reports bloodworms have been producing four to six big bass a day from 28 inches to that 55-incher shown earlier in the week. The action has been on early morning and late afternoon tides.
The forecast is for southeast winds at 10 knots before going southwest up to 20 knots in the afternoon. Showers are possible along with areas of fog.
