Vinny D’Anton has been picking a few stripers mostly, around 24 inches, in the Monmouth County surf — though bluefish are much more abundant Most of the choppers are small even though Vinny hooked a 6-pounder this morning. Surprisingly, a small bucktail jig has been most effective.

Capt. Ron Santee, Jr. had good all day fluke action on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands on Sunday when several 3-4-pounders came aboard while a 6 13/16-pounder took the pool.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar had to work a bit harder for small blues on Sunday while adding bonito, chub mackerel. and sea bass. The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant has been into large quantities of small blues most days while adding sea bass, some Spanish mackerel and the first little tunny. some small cobia have been released as good weather continues to prevail.

Kil Song had an unusual report from Virginia Beach as he fished for ribbonfish (actually cutlassfish).
