Dolphin have been dependable

Tuna turn off some days, but all the offshore reports ‘ve been getting indicate that the dolphin bite has been consistent.

Capt. Mark DeBlasio of Blue Runner out of Point Pleasant reported”BLUE RUNNER Sept 18-19

Did some schedule juggling around weather and got John and crew out .. Hans filled in since his trip was getting blown out tomorrow .. and off we went.

Focused on the chunk bite and it was picky . Good marks at times but fish didn’t chew as well as they should. We got some shots, lost some and put together a nice catch. Mahi fishing was once again lights out and we kept as many as we wanted to keep. Back at it when weather cooperates

Capt. Ron Santee reported a beautiful day but a continuation of very slow fluke fishing — and will probably be switching to bottom fishing with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands later this week.

The marine forecast for NY/NJ Bight is for east winds at 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20.
