It’s looking very good for fishermen this weekend as most species are turned on and the weather looks to be in our favor.

Fluking conditions improved greatly since Saturday, and Capt. Ron Santee reported a second straight day of good fluking on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands. That included the largest so far as Gary Linn boated a 27-incher which weighed 8 pounds, one ounce. A 7-pounder was reported Monday on Vitamin Sea from Port Monmouth.

The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant had “fantastic” ocean bluefish jigging on Sunday when the choppers ranged up to 12 pounds.

The Golden Eagle from Belmar has been picking away at small blues while adding a lot of ling and some fluke.

Shore Catch ran offshore of Manasquan Inlet to find lots of “under” bluefin tuna, but continued offshore to find bigger yellowfins that blasted popping plugs cast to them for maximum sport.

N.Y.C. Capt. John McMurray has been into lots of casting and jigging tuna to the east –and even found them on a foggy day.

The weather forecast is fine, with southwest winds at 10-15 knots tomorrow along with likely showers.
