Though it’s been yellowfins that have been providing most of the good tuna trips this fall, the Golden Eagle from Belmar had the opposite experience on Monday’s tuna trip as they limited the boat on both under and over bluefins while yellowfins failed to appear. The Golden Eagle is back to daily inshore trips which started in beautiful weather today as bait was located though there were no stripers with them. A switch to sea bass produced a decent pick plus a triggerfish.a few small blues and bonito — and some porgies.

Capt. Frank Masseria of Vitamin Sea at Keyport took his family out for school stripers in the bay and after a slow start ended up with good action as the fall run may be starting. He has openings right through the weekend.

Here is he photo of the 40-inch first large striper report from Bay Head in yesterday’s blog that didn’t download then.

The Canyon Runner from Point Pleasant has been loading up with yellowflong with some bi swordfish in the canyons. They have open boat spots available on Thursday by calling 732 272-4445

There’s a great forecast with west winds at 5-10 knots.
