Following up on yesterday’s blog, I’m sorry to report that Mike Monte has returned to Nantucket after getting shut out in his historic northern N.J. surf hot spots during his annual trip back to family roots. No one fishes harder or better than Mike, and he normally releases dozens of school stripers during daily efforts at dawn in his favorite spots. Yet, Mike couldn’t catch a single bass in weeks of trying. It’s very late to expect a change for the normal January pick of school bass, but you never know unless you try when conditions are good.

The forecast is for southwest winds at 15-20 knots plus gusts to 25.
