Capt. Walter on the Fishfinder II reported action has been good all week, with a fair amount of keepers and pool fish running 5 to 7 pounds. Fares are also seeing tons of shorts, the action has been in the bay and ocean, with the ocean producing a mix of sea bass, porgies, blues and bonito, The bay is seeing mostly fluke, with the occasional bluefish in the mix. The night bluefish action is awesome… best in a lot of years according to Capt. Walter. All the action has been on Diamond Jigs with Friday night producing a boat limit, while daily there are plenty of limits around the boat. The fish are 3 to 5 pounds, with the occasional big one on the mix.

Capt. Walter on the Fishfinder II reported the fluke action is an all you want bite… but a keeper is very tough. However, with that being said, do you like reeling in fish non-stop? If so, the bite is flat out great, and you will have a blast, and it is well worth the trip. The afternoon bluefish trips, which Capt. Walter feels is the best in several years is yielding good results with a lot of fish. Pool fish has ranged from 6 to 7 pounds daily, with the occasional larger fish in the mix.
