Other Reports From Today
Dennis and Elise Fortuna from Runnemede, NJ had a fun day off the surf today. They fished the mid-island surf and caught a number of kingfish. Dennis reported, “Kingfish were chewing on Fish Bites. Elise got a pompano too. We fished a mullet rig with fresh mullet but it didn’t get a touch.”
Some anglers down on the south end reported lots of small blues and a few fluke on the beach in Holgate.
Swagmattic Matt S. was aboard the Carolyn Ann today for the last day of fluke. The boat fished the Garden State North. It was good fishing early then it turned off. Matt was fishing live snappers and got a five pounder. It was a nice fish but not enough for the pool. However it was enough to take top honors in the South Jersey Saltwater Anglers Fall Fluke tournament weigh in. Matt took the top a 5.12 pound fluke.
