Good bluefin report from McMurray

N.Y.C. Capt. John McMurray has a real problem with too many bluefins these days as some are too big for the casting tackle his customers are fishing with and that often results in a long fight that doesn’t end well.

Capt. Ron Santee Jr. started off with another good fluke trip on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands. Several 3-4-pounders were boated and Arnoldo had a 4 5/16-pounder, before it suddenly went dead there and everywhere else Ron went. There was a big swell that might have had something to do with that.

A small craft advisory is up until late tonight.

The morning forecast is for west winds at 5-10 knots before going southwest in the afternoon at 10-15 plus gusts to 20.
