“We had some good days and some off days mainly because of the winds and seas,” said Capt. Al Shinn of the Miss Belmar Princess and Miss Belmar. Al said the bluefishing was decent with some bonito mixed in with mixed size slammers. The fluke and sea bass action had a couple of good days because of the rough seas. The boat also spent one day in port because of the weather. Al said hopefully things will settle down this week; however this week looks like it could be a wet one.

“There certainly was no lack of fluke and sea bass this summer, of course most of them were sub legals,” said Capt. Al Shinn of the Miss Belmar Princess and Miss Belmar. Likewise the fishing did not get into a good groove until August. Like most boat captains Al said it would be nice if we have good conditions and a good September this year. He told me he will be switching to striped bass once the fluke season is over if the stripers show up like they did last season.
