Though sea bass aren’t piled up on wrecks and rough bottoms as was the case when the NJ season opened, they still present a good opportunity – especially when added to a good showing of ling.

Capt. Ron Santee Jr. sent the following report for today on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands.

Morning started out a little sloppy with all the Wind and Nasty weather yesterday.

Got to the first area read some fish, made two drops and left it with only a couple fish. Ran offshore cought some ling on a couple drops and decided to check out an area we hadn’t fished yet. Took a ride and was glad we did.

First drop we had the Sea Bass biting with double headers and quality fish coming up. When that slowed we made another drop in overtime and got it done.

Art from Lake Hopatcong took the pool with a monster ling, one of the largest I have seen in a long time.

“WE ARE NOT AVAILABLE THIS COMING SATURDAY”

The forecast is good, with west winds at just 5-10 knots before going southwest in the afternoon. There’s a slight chance of showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon.
