Get into offshore sea bass before season closes

Fishing on offshore wrecks is at its peak. but the season for sea bass is coming toward closure. Fortunately. there are lots of openings left on N.J. party boats, while New York anglers can fish on the almost daily trips of the Capt. Lou Fleet at Freeport. Call Anthony Gillespie at 516 623-5833 for up to the hour info on the Capt. Lou trips.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar not only had sea bass up to 6 1/2 pounds on yesterday’s trip, but also jumbo porgies plus some weakfish and blues. To top it off, they fed dogfish to big tuna though those fish were lost.

The forecast is for southwest winds at 10-15 knots plus rain before going to west at 15-20 and gusts to 30 in the afternoon.
