by With Ernesto heading far to the northeast, the biggest and best of Atlantic coast offshore fishing tournaments looks to be in good shape for this week’s fishing.
The captains meeting for the MidAtlantic in Cape May, N.J. is ongoing as this was written, but 164 boats were already signed up before that.
This contest is very professionally summarized every night by Jeff Merrill, and I’ll pass that report along each night.
A small craft advisory is up through late Monday night, but that seems to be primarily about large seas. The forecast is for only southwest winds at 5-10 knots though seas could be up to 8 feet –which can create dangerous conditions at inlets. Try to avoid returning to inlets toward the end of the outgoing tide.
Chuck Many reports “Went out Sunday with Alex Katyan & Chrisper Fishin for a day of No Fish Shaming! Goal was to see if we could catch a dozen Species. Funny thing is once you’re trying to catch them, they suddenly become an endangered species!! Was really fun and the Excitement of a double header Skate/Sea Robin or a Whistle Fish Oyster Cracker was unmatched. Ended with 13 Species, which sets a high bar for our next outing. Species were: Striped Bass, Porgy, Dogfish, Sea Bass, Fluke, Bluefish, Chub Mackerel, Skate, Spot, Croaker, Oyster Cracker, Grunt, Sea Robin.”
