As I have been saying, the striped bass and bluefish are still out there! We had two weigh-ins yesterday, neither were tournament, and a few pictures sent to me. First A King weigh-ed in this 8.62#, 32″ striper caught on clams, and then Ben and Jeff weighed in a 7.98#, 29″ striper. Then Jake and Sam came in and sent me their pictures – Jake with a 44.5″ bass on clams and Sam with a 45″ bass on bunker. Bluefish out there still too – Krystyna sent me this picture of Walter and his two bluefish caught using mullet. There are also fluke in the surf. In the bay there are fluke, weakfish and some small blues. Out at Little Egg Reef, you can still pick up sea bass (10 per person) until June 19th.
Two boats went out yesterday for the BHMTC Tuna Open. There were a couple yellowfin weighed in so far! You can follow the progress of the tournament and all the weigh-ins at www.tunaopen.com.
