Capt. Joe Massa of My Three Sons at Morgan Marina reports blackfishing recently with Captain Pat Heaney of City By The Sea charters in Newport Rhode Island as follows:” Had all hard-core blackfishermen on the trip which included Bobby Glynn, aka Bunker Bobby, his brother Tommy aka oh boy, Lou Critiano aka Staten Island Sharpie, and Scott and Bob Croker. Fishing was amazing with non-stop fish to 11 lbs. True drop and reel fishing both on jigs and weight and bait. The first day I would guess we had over 150 keepers, keeping only 3 fish per man and releasing all females and big fish. Most of the fish were in the 5lb to 8lb class. The group broke off several big fish using 30lb to 40lb leader. On day two, fishing was a bit slower, but still amazing based on New Jersey standards. Several 10lb fish were released on day two fishing a deep-water wreck.”
A small craft advisory is up through Tuesday morning in NY/NJ Bight. Tomorrow’s forecast is for west winds at 15-20 knots plus gusts to 30.
