In Ristoris blog today


"As if loading up on big bluefish isn't enough action, anglers aboard the Golden Eagle from Belmar today were treated to a lot more at the end of the trip when three yellowfin tuna were boated. Those fish were reported to average 48 pounds. "

There wa a 50lb yellowfin caught on the Miss Belmar Princess while bluefishing today. Fantastic catching by Kevin Williams of Cream Ridge NJ

Another yellowfin today. All the trouble we go through with hi-tec line because of their great eyesight and these guys hit them with steel leaders. Go figure.


[Some really odd ball yellowfin tuna have been hitting wire-leadered bait rigs on bluefish party boats fishing to the east, and lightning struck once again today for Capt. Rich Falcone of the Golden Eagle from Belmar as a 45-to-50-pounder was boated.]

Don't know if this is the right thread but there was a good bluefin bite earlier this week about 40 miles E of Moiches. Mostly small bluefin in the 50-100 lb class. It may no longer be on when the weather breaks though. Wish I could have been flexible enough to get out there earlier. Double digit catches

I think this video is from there. Prime reel estate. Awesome video!

I'm headed 60 miles out in a few hours. Weather looks great so far but that may bring too many other boaters out which can affect the bite.
