A call to Mike over at Wagner’s Marina got us a couple fishing reports and a few choice words for the weather. He said there’s still plenty of baitfish around and fish like snappers, cocktails and croakers are still in good numbers as well. Bluefish, bonito and albies are also cruising the waters just off the beaches but the recent weather kept boats at the dock. Mike said if we are to have good fishing in October we are going to have some better weather conditions that will allow boats to sail especially with the fuel prices so high.

Boats sailing out of Wagner’s Marina this past week got into some good fishing. Paul told me the marina held a fluke contest on Saturday with 30 boats at the marina competing. The winner was “Tommy Fishtails” 9-pound fluke. Paul said all the boats that competed had fish.
