Anglers wishing to limit out on small blues by jigging had no problem doing so today on the Golden Eagle from Belmar. Diamond jigs were just fine as the choppers hit deep when not on top. Some bonito were added.

Capt. Ron Santee Jr. got off to a good start with fluke on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands before having to pick away when he lost the tide. Many anglers had limits. That boat is chartered on Saturday,

Fishin’ Fever weighed a 203.5-pound bigeye tuna during yesterday’s opening of the Beach Haven Marlin & Tuna Club’s 55th White Marlin Invitational. Some other tuna were weighed, but the site is such a mess that I have no idea who’s leading in what.

More good weather is forecast with west winds iat 5 knots n the morning before gusting to 20 in the afternoon.

The Mimi VI from Point Pleasant may have room on Sunday’s fluke and bottom fishing open trip. Call 732 370-9019.

Capt. Mark De Blasio of the Blue Runner from Point Pleasant reported “Had Justin Lewis and crew out yesterday. Left later than usual and started off with some Mahi fishing. Around 5pm set out the Tuna gear and quickly had a single bite that resulted in a nice Bigeye on deck. Set back out and shortly afterwards had a nice mark and looked back and saw a Wolfpack of Bigeyes fighting with each other to eat everything behind the boat. Came tight on 5 which was a challenge with a 4 man crew. Managed to get all 5 boat side and killed 3. With 4 nice Bigeyes in the box the guys said point her home. We could have stayed and loaded up on them as they were chewing.”s
