The N.J. sea bass season opened Friday, and so far there have been mostly good reports. Limit catches seem to be common, and there haven’t been too many complaints about having to pick through lots of shorts. Most boats are also reporting ling in the mix, as well as a few whiting.

Today was somewhat of an exception as the Golden Eagle from Belmar reported “It was a slower start today with the SEA BASS so we picked with shots along with lulls.

We made a few moves and it got better as the day went on. Anglers that stayed at it had their limits of SEA BASS along with LING in the mix. There was also a showing of WHITING and WINTER FLOUNDER.

Great day with the Kings of the Musky world, Mike, Bob, & James!!! 40 Giant Bass to 52 pounds. Definitely one to remember!!! Love these guys!” See photos below.

That was the first 50 I’ve heard of so far this season.

The forecast is for northeast winds at just 5-10 knots before going east in the afternoon.

Sorry for no blog last night, but I got delayed in traveling after a “wild” second birthday party in Palm Beach Gardens for my grandson Alex Gonzalez.
