Weekend looking good

Weather i NY/NJ Bight has been so bad for so long that it’s hard to believe the forecast of light winds over the weekend — including some west.

A small craft advisory is up until 8 p.m. Thursday’s forecast is for east winds at 5-10 knots before going southeast in the afternoon.

Sea bass fishing opened in N.J. on Tuesday, and the forecast looks perfect for that. That’s even more true for tuna fishing which has been generally very good whenever boats can get offshore.
