It’s Thursday morning, August 20th, and we’re expecting a bit of rain later this afternoon here at the Jersey Shore. Clearer skies in the Friday forecast, but the weather prognosticators have us down for another bout of showers on Saturday. So, just bring the poncho or oilskins, because other that a few drops of rain the sailing conditions look pretty solid overall. We kick off the week with a look at inshore and surf species on tap for the weekend, leading into an update on the Dream Boat leaderboard. Get a look at this week’s digital edition reports for the north, central and south regions as compiled by our team of field editors here at The Fisherman, along with the latest intel from the offshore grounds with the team from Canyon Runner and our weekly freshwater update from the Pocono Outdoors Guy. Finally this week the town of Bay Head in Ocean County has officially banned the use of drones for bait deployment from that town’s beaches; a look at what comes next in this summer-long shark debate.
