by Millions will be on the line as fishing in the MidAtlantic Tournament gets underway today.
The biggest money is in white marlin for which there’s both a minimum length of 69 inches and 65 pounds to weigh in. Blue marlin must be at least 102 inches. Tuna start at 50 pounds, while dolphin and wahoo have to be at least 10 pounds.
Boaters can choose any three of the five days for fishing. I’ll forward Jeff Merrill’s daily updates when received.
The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant had a tuna trip last week which produced a few yellowfins plus others lost. Jigging inshore for small blues has been consistent — as has it’s been for the Golden Eagle from Belmar.
Striper pro Chuck Many reports “With the sloppy ocean, mixed it up with Cesar Carranza and decided to catch some bait (Spot & Croaker) & then feed them to some hungry Bass. Fun day!!! The great bait bite was definitely a highlight!! Got to thank Tackle Box Fishing Co. for the Lugworms!! They were fire for Spot, Croaker & and few weakfish.”
A small craft advisory is up for northwest winds at 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20 and seas up to 6 feet.
