by Vinny D’Anton continues to catch bluefish in the Monmouth County surf, but was more encouraged this morning by seeing mullet in the . Stripers shouldn’t be far behind!
The bluefishing has been holding up though they aren’t showing. Vinny caught seven one morning this week while working his Chug Bug popper — and they were in the 5-6-pound class.
The Golden Eagle from Belmar had a charter on Tuesday when jigging produced bonito and little tunny before small blues took over at mid-morning.
Capt. Ron Santee Jr. reported his biggest fluke of the season on the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands on Tuesday. It wasn’t as good as Labor Day in a cranky northeast wind, but Pete got things going with a 5-pounder and ended up with a limit.
“Highlight of the day was Chief Kelly doing what he does at least once a year, he sticks a beautiful Fluke at 9-pounds 2-ounces for our largest of the season so far!! 2 years ago he had one 13 and change! Awesome stuff Chief, made for a great picture.
A small craft advisory is up from Thursday evening to late night.
