Some bottom life offshore

The Ocean Explorer from Belmar got offshore yesterday and reported as follows:

“We had nice conditions offshore today,,a little rocky but not bad with Northwest winds..Had decent life again with water temps up to 43 degrees out there….Lots of perch biting kept you busy…But also had a few keeper blackfish,.6 or 7 keeper pollock and a nice codfish and ling to…So not a lot of fish and not everybody caught but enough to keep you interested..Caught the cod on a jig again and double header pollock on jig teaser as well.”

The NY/NJ Bight forecast is for east winds at 10-15 knots.
