[Sandy 44]

We went yesterday 35-40 miles..sucked..Need to go out further.

Caught 1 dolphin and bonita..

They are catching small bonitas and dolphin in that mile range.. 

This was leaving out of Tuckerton.

 

Pezmachine catches!  But you pay

Really ? They have been doing great out of Point Pleasant.

Not sure where they go from Point, but has to be first canyon I would suspect.

 

We got boarded by the coast guard, and they said fri was busy with boats, but when asked about the catch, all small bonitas..

Very few tuna..The boats were going to Hudson

If you are serious about your tuna fishing, you  should consider making a road trip to NC where the Gulf Stream is right off of the coast. Here in Jersey you will have to expend a lot of fuel and time just getting to the Gulf Stream, where you'll find the tuna following the baitfish in the warm rich waters and be more likely to get your money's worth of tuna on board. Good luck, guys!

Agreed. Been fishing extensively in NC , Florida ...it is kind of like skiing , do we have it in NJ? Yes. Is it the best? No , but it's what we got

Plus sometimes it is just about the ocean , the beer , and the company. Not necessarily in that order lol

Yup, its way better than not going out at all

As the saying goes, " A bad day of fishing is better than a good day at work".
