Stripers hold up despite competition

Conditions in NY/NJ Bight were good today in west winds, and boaters had plenty of shots despite the weekend crowds.

Capt. Ron Santee had his annual charter for the IBEW on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands as fishing was good all day with good shots of keepers despite having to make moves to other areas every time a spot got tot too crowded and turned off the bite.

A gale watch is up for Sunday with west winds at 20-25 kno and up to 25 in the afternoon. No problem for party boats , but small boaters must exercise caution.
