by The 52nd White Marlin Open opened today in Ocean City Maryland with 282 boats fishing for $7.2 million through Aug. 8. If there are any outstanding catches today, I’ll add a blog late at night.
Anglers fishing Sunday’s fluke contests had to work hard for their entries, Walter Fisher reports no angler came close to the $25,000 for the first fluke over 11 pounds in the Grandpa Savino Memorial out of Great Kills. The largest weighed went 6.8 pounds. Th e Leonardo Fire Co. Fluke Masters hasn’t posted any results — which is the norm for that event.
The Big Mohawk from Belmar had decent fluking after the storm, though the best catch was a 41-lb black drum that hit a jig being dropped by Bucktails Dave.
N.Y. now has a fluke minimum pushed up to 19.5 inches with the same three-fish bag limit.
The marine forecast in NY/NJ Bight is for northeast winds at just 5 knots before going southeast in the afternoon.
