Southern New Jersey fluke anglers will be in their glory as they finally get an early start to the May 4- Sept. 25 season. Though northern waters are usually too cold for good fluking, May is prime time to the south. The minimum is 18 inches with a five fish limit.

Capt. Joe Massa wound up the N.J. tautog season on Monday with his My Three Sons out of Morgan Marina as he and Randy Ciprich of Sayreville caught well over 20 tog for a double limit while never leaving Raritan Bay. They only kept male tog, while releasing the females full of eggs.

The forecast is for east winds at 5-10 knots plus gusts to 20.

The Jamaica from Brielle has room on a Saturday 7-3 trip for ling and cod plus the Sat. night tilefish trip.

  2. Hello Al,

    I believe the limit on Fluke is 3 not 5 like you said in your write up.

    Tight Lines!
