Today’s frigid gale kept anglers home despite the great fishing that was enjoyed by many under clouds of feeding birds Wednesday. Though Capt. Ron Santee Jr. hopes to get out Saturday with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands, it appears the windy weather may last into Monday. Ron is looking forward to temperatures back up to the fifties next week — and will continue to sail as long as the stripers bite and customers show up each morning.
The gale warning continues to late tonight. The forecast is for northwest winds at 25-30 knots.
Bluefin tuna also remain in the picture. as noted by Capt. Gene Quigley in his post about this week’s crew trip. “Incredible crew trip with the boyz for the re-opening of giant season. Went out with no expectations other than to have fun. Came across a jurassic park feed of complete units and @scuuuse had the sickest popper bite I have ever witnessed on the @black_ledge_lures popper. 90 minutes later with fluid teamwork and this fat 94 incher was boat side on spin tackle. “
