I’m back– as are the oPleasant cean blues

After being out of communication for a few days, I’m trying to get up to date

The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant reported a boat limit of blues yesterday as A-17 ad and A-27 diamond jigs worked best.

At Belmar, the Golden Eagle got into some jigging blues plus ling before drifting for mostly short fluke. They also released lots of sea bass that are now out-of-season.

The northern New Jersey surf still dead when Mike Monte made the trip from Nantucket to visit his family in northern New Jersey. That’s usually a good time for the Jersey surf, but the only bass heard of was a 40-incher that ate a quarter-sized calico crab, Even the pros fishing at night weren’t catching anything.

Vinny D’Anton found a bit of Improvement in the Monmouth County surf this morning as three bass in the 20-inch class were raised to his Chug Bug along with small blues. Vinny also heard of a 28-inch bass being caught on sand fleas.
