Get fishing in before weekend northeaster

Tomorrow looks like another very fishable day, and anglers should take advantage of it in face of a weekend gale warning.

At Belmar, the Golden Eagle reported a slow start before bluefishing broke open in the afternoon. There was whitewaterfishing on the 3-to-8-pound blues with diamond jigs, and some anglers added fluke limits off bottom.

The best fluke fishing of the season has been going on since last week, but the weekend weather could put that to an end. Capt. Ron Santee said it was tougher today, but still did well on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands. Seve and Big Tom boated successive fluke of 8.4 and 7.11 pounds. Santee is fishing tomorrow since the wind isn’t predicted to come on until the afternoon.

Fisher Prce IV eports a fine tripecent day on the bluefin grounds for Mike and friends landing 2 overs taking out at 55” and 59”. Thank you guys for fishing hard. We will have the boat back up in Highlands and hope to start bass fishing end of the week. We will also be available for tuna charters as long as they are around.
