More wind, but better direction

Anglers in NJ/NY Bight have had to deal with lots of wind for some time, but at least there’s some hope with a change to a calming west direction.

There are still small craft warnings for 20-25 knot west winds plus gusts to 30, but I remember many days when chartering out of Highlands and beating across the bay to get into the lee of Staten Island where hungry stripers were waiting. Capt. Ron Santee is planning on giving it a try tomorrow with his Fishermen out of Atlantic Highlands. There were lots of stripers during the last trip though most are too large to keep.
