Small blues building up

The Golden Eagle had another day of limit bluefish jigging. Those 1-to-3-pounders hit best on jigs and teasers. The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant has also been limiting with those blues most days.

The Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands has been into more keeper fluke by fishing deeper waters where rods with some backbone are needed to set hooks. A 5-pounder won today’s pool, but several bigger fluke were lost due to the use of “noodle” rods that can’t set kooks when heavy sinkers are needed,

A small craft advisory is up through Sunday afternoon.
