Big bluefish were scarce this fall in NY/NJ Bight. but there have been some reports of them from striper fishermen.In addition to yesterday’s report from the Fishermen, Capt. Frank Masseria of Vitamin Sea from Keyport sent the following about yesterday’s trip.
“Had Paul, Richie, and crew on board today. Excellent action right from the start with bass eating everything we threw at them- jigs, shads, spoons, and topwater. Fish ranged from 22” to 39” with a few fish pushing 30 pounds. Full boat limit of keepers and bonus fish and some JUMBO bluefish with many more bass released. Super December bassing continues.”
Capt Ron Santee finished his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands season in rough waters and rain — but went out with a bang!
“The Ocean was Angry, the rain was coming down, it was Fishing in the Snot at it’s Finest!!!
Had an awesome couple hours of non-stop action on fish up to 38 inches before the change of tide…..I always like to end the season on a High note, today was perfect.“
A small craft advisory is up through Monday afternoon. The forecast is for west winds at 15-20knots with gusts to 25 — perfect for surfcasting at the N.J. Shore!
