NY bight and NJ inshore tuna reports and sightings

Man you guys are seeing tuna off the beach up there? We would never see that off of our beaches. Way too flat and shallow. if it wasn't for the high real estate taxes in central jersey I would move up and live right behind Island Beach State Park for sure.

Guy in my marina says he spotted some around 2 to 3 weeks ago. he always brings a tuna stick with him just in case. He still hasn't caught any inshore so far this fall. There are still lots of big bunker and herring around so maybe there is still time, who knows?

Guess the chatter is coming from different areas. Capt Al Ristori wrote this yesterday for the evening report-

Though there's been rumors of large school to medium bluefin tuna at Little Italy and other areas not too far from shore, I haven't been able to confirm that.
