Though he had to work hard for them, Capt. Mark DeBlasio got off to a good start in the Manasquan River Tuna Tournament
“LUE RUNNER Aug 25-26
MRMTC TOURNEY
Got back out with Rob Lane and crew for our shot at the Manasquan River Tournament. Slow fishing but found a few good bites. Bigeyes went 206.1 and 99 lbs. Yellowfin was a true stud at 121.9 lbs .. Longfin for the non Bigeye stringer at 41.6 lbs. Had some fun with a Blue Marlin release followed by a White release yesterday morning ..
Now we are sitting ducks with some great local boats looking to knock us off the board over the next few days. Tournament ends Saturday ..”
Capt. Ron Santee was frustrated Tuesday by the lack of drift and resulting few bites for fluke anglers on his Fishermen out of Atlantic Highlands. A 4-pounder took the pool.
The forecast in NY/NJ Bight is for southwest winds at 5 knots before increasing to 10-15 in the afternoon plus gusts to 20.
Even a runner-up check in the MidAtlantic can be impressive as MJ’S can attest to
