Yellowfins shine in offshore waters

There are lots of good reports coming in from the offshore yellowfin tuna run all along the coast’

Capt. John Contello reports his Just Sayin offshore boat loaded up with yellowfins and left them biting on its last trip before returning to Keyport for the striper season. John got that going with lots of big bass yesterday.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar didn’t find stripers working under birds as was the case the day before, but switched to sea bass for steady action even though shorts dominated.

A small craft warning is up through Sunday evening, though for a favorable northwest at 20-25 knots with gusts to 30. Seas are 5-8 feet in a southeast swell from the offshore hurricane. That can result in rough inlets.
