Bob Correll reports that he trolled barely out of sight of the Shore yesterday on Mike Heaney’s October Sky out of Manasquan Inlet as Mike Mercurio joined in the trolling catch of five bluefin tuna in the 30-35-pound class. A small boat in the fleet north of Little Italy had a much larger tuna on, but it was eventually lost. Some tuna were also jigged, but that was best very early.
Capt. Ron Santee Jr. had a new monthly pool leader yesterday on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands as Scott Scuderi boated a 5 13/16-pound fluke. However, that didn’t make it past today as Wade Ryerson caught a 6 9/16-pounder. Several other large fluke were also added.
The forecast remains excellent with 5-10 knot winds from the west and then southwest as showers and thunderstorms are possible in the afternoon.
