The unofficial field for the 2023 MidAtlantic out of Cape May plus Ocean City, Md consists of 181 boats fishing for a purse of $5.7 million- and176 of those boats fished the first day. That should result in a very busy weigh-in period starting at 5 p.m. I’ll add a post after the scales close.

The MidAtlantic has a double minimum for billfish weigh-ins as whites must be 69 inches and 65 pounds — while blues have to make both 102 inches and 400 pounds. Tuna count at 50 pounds, while dolphin and wahoo must be at least 20 pounds.

The Mimi VI from Point Pleasant has room on bottom fishing trips the next two days as well as on many others coming up. Call for details call 732 370-8019.

The Paramount from Brielle will be running squid trips from 7 to noon Tuesday and Wednesday.

The forecast is for northeast winds, but at just 5-10 knots.
