Bluefish sprearding along Jersey Shore

It’s just starting, but bluefish should be swarming into waters throughout NY/NJ Bight very shortly.

In addtion to yesterday’s report about Manasquan Inlet, John Bushell Jr. reports from Betty and Nick’s in Seaside Park that “Bluefish are here ” There were large blues caught in the IBSP surf during the afternoon.

Live bunkers have been producing big stripers in Raritan Bay. Capt. Frank Massaria said it was hard to net the bunkers, but they paired off quickly today on his Vitamin Sea from Keyport with a limit catch.

A small craft advisory is up through Thursday morning. The forecast is for northeast winds at 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20 before going southeast 5-10 in the afternoon.
