Southerly current slows fluke bite

The Big Mohawk from Belmar reported a relatively slow fluke bite today due to a strong southerly current. They still picked away at keepers with one limit and a pool fluke just short of 6 pounds.

Capt. Dave De Gennaro offers a last minute opportunity to get in a tuna trip aboard his Hi Flier from Barnegat as follows:

“We have two people signed on for our Open Boat Tuna trip tomorrow, Tues July 25, there is still room for two more.

Call right up until “go time” at 732 330-5674.

It looks like the nice weather is going to extend through Wed July 26 now so we are adding that date, as well.

These are 20 to 30 mile trips. Drifting with bait and possibly some trolling. We have been catching our own live bait right at the fishing grounds.

4AM to 2PM each day. $350 person, 

4 people max, all fish are shared.

We are also available for charter for bay, inshore, or offshore fishing. We are currently catching bluefish and fluke in the inlet and in the bay. “

The inshore forecast is for southwest winds at a mere 5 knots before going to south in the afternoon.
