NJ Saltwater Fishing Reports

With a not so good forecast, I cancelled John’s tuna trip out deep. Just not right to get out there and only fish for a couple of hours. He reluctantly agreed and decided to try for bass, blues, whatever. Tried eeling in the channel with no action and very little life. Headed south to where we found action yesterday only to find the area void of predators. A move east and John got into a real nice Bonita and the rest of theguys were able to hook into some decent blues. Not great action but just enough on every drift not to look else where. I was hoping that the jumbos were still inside and was all smiles when we rounded the hook and saw all the bird life with the yelloweyes crashing the surface. John and his crew continued catching these fish until finally they had enough. You have to love the blues on days like these, they never give up, not fussy about what you toss at them and put a great bend in the rods. Not the tuna trip as planned but today turned out pretty good considering.. A few more degrees cooler water temps and the bass will arrive, then it will be game on……..
