Waters warmed, and the ocean along the shore reached 70 degrees, changing some fishing. Fluke fishing somewhat improved on the ocean, because of the temps. A few of the flatties and a few sea bass, a bit of an improvement in the angling.
Fluke fishing in the past days probably wasn’t as fast as previously, but the fish still gave up action, and the number of keepers changed day to day. That depended on conditions or whether winds and tides created good drifts, and trips on the vessel mainly found the fish around .
Warm waters were slowing down ocean striped bass. Big blues could be chummed off of Cape May, and small blues popped up in lots of different waters. Bottom-fishing pounced on healthy catches of sea bass and, in a little deeper waters, ling and cod
Canyon trips dialed in to offshore fishing at the Hudson Canyon, found some large sharks and tons of action with blue sharks, browns and duskies, though no mako reported.
A bigeye was hooked at the cigar on the troll. The tuna, a 74-inch bigeye weighing 219 pounds back at the dock. Good luck my friends and send in your pictures.
