Boats sailing out of Wagner’s Marina, in between a couple of bad weather days enjoyed some good weather and decent fishing this past week. Paul told us that most of the boats fishing for fluke fished outside where keepers were in better supply. George Rudd and Fred Voza both enjoyed limit catches of fluke and most boats that fished on Saturday came back with some keepers. This past Saturday was one of the best of the season so far at the marina. “Now all we need is a few less nasty storms,” Paul said.

I spoke with Paulie over at Wagner’s Marina and he said action really didn’t get going for anglers fishing out of the marina until mid-August, and it would be nice to see the month of September come in with some good fishing. Some of the better fishing was in the ocean around Sandy Hook where John Gentile and Jeff Hemhouser limited out two days in a row the weekend of the 23rd. “Hopefully catches like that will continue into September,” he said.
