A small craft advisory is up in NY/NJ Bight through Tuesday afternoon.
The forecast is for northwest winds at 15-20 knots plus gusts to 30 in the morning.
The Capt. Al from Point Lookout sent a recent report as follows”We sailed today with a dozen fares and picked some nice, tasty Ling everywhere we tried. We also caught and released a couple of small codfish and a handful of blackfish and dogfish. The water has warmed up quite a bit in the past 2 weeks and we’re looking forward to trying some shallower spots for blackfish this week.
“We will begin sailing EVERY DAY this Tuesday, April 1. Hopefully the weather will cooperate. We’ll be targeting Blackfish, Ling and codfish. Sailing time is 7AM, returning around 4PM. Text me your name, day and date of trip and number of people to 516-361-9275.
