The weigh-ins listed yesterday for bluefin tuna weighed in the Manasquan River Marlin & Tuna Club’s Bluefin Open were actually from last year’s event but popped up as I searched for this year’s. The actual weigh-ins in the 80-boat, $162,192 contest were a lot less impressive. Teddi B won easily at 117.5 pounds over a 80.1-pounder on Better Attitude.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported sea bass fishing early today was a struggle at first due to the wind, but ended up well once again with many limits and a couple of 2 1/2-3-pound jumbos included. There were also a few ling. Only seven days are left in that N,J. season.

The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant has been starting off with bluefish. They had a good shot of 2-7-pound choppers Sunday before adding sea bass.

Tuesday’s forecast is for west winds at just 10-15 knots.
