The NY/NJ Bight summer run of bluefish appears to be shaping up. The Golden Eagle from Belmar had plenty of readings and made long jigging drifts on 2-pounders before getting into some up to 6 pounds later in the day.

The Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands got out after three days n port and found good numbers of short fluke along with some keepers and “huge” but out of season sea bass. Big Joe caught five keepers and 20 shorts.

The weather looks fishable Sunday with south winds at 5-10 knots, though there may be some morning fog and showers.

A bit further south – Bob Correll of Bay Head and Hutchinson Island, FL with a 50-pound, 52-inch cobia he jigged offshore of St. Lucie Inlet on his new 34-foot Sea Vee with triple 150 hp Mercs and a Seakeeper. My son-in-law, Luis Gonzalez, released a sailfish on a live bait while my nephew was fighting his cobia.
