Capt. Ed Bunting said it was a great day on his Sea Horse from Atlantic Highlands as fluke were solid right down the middle of Raritan Reach from the TC Buoy to Buoy 19. Not only were 50 to 55 keepers boated, but there were "all the shorts you wanted". Furthermore, the fluke hit everything. Jigs were effective, but so were mackerel/sandeel and mackerel/spearing combos. John Wordann from Keansburg boated a 9 1/2-pound near-doormat, and John Dykhuis of Dupont had a 6.8-pound fluke.
Gene Graman of Middletown ran his That's It from Twin Lights Marina in Highlands down the beach to chunk bunker, and finally found stripers among the big blues. Former Twin Lights regular Anna Maria Steepy was up from Key West with her husband Dick, and was joined by her father, Joe Croce of Seaside Park, and Joe Greco of Fort Myers. Fl. (formerly of Edison) as they limited on stripers up to a 25-pounder.
The Canyon Runner fleet has been enjoying great early season trolling. The two boats out of Clarks Landing in Point Pleasant totaled 150 tuna last week. Their last two trips produced 60 yellowfins from 40 to 100 pounds, 14 on the chunk, in the canyons. Bluefins are further inshore, but only two can be retained each trip if they fall in the right size classes. Adam LaRosa has a few individual spots open due to cancellations. There's one at $725 June 23-24 on the Viking 48, and three at $950 each from June 27-28 on the Ritchie Howell. That boat is available for charter at $4,495 on June 28-29 or June 29-30. Call LaRosa at 732 272-4445.
The Star Island Shark Tournament at Montauk over the weekend was won by a 325-pound mako, with makos of 189 and 161 pounds in the next two spots as no eligible threshers or blues were brought in. Capt. Gene Kelly reports there were 130 boats, down 35 from last year, with 16 sharks weighed in.
At Point Pleasant, the Queen Mary has been loading up on bluefish from 8 to 14 pounds, with pool winners around 16 pounds.
The Sea Devil is chartered Thursday, but reported very good bluefishing Sunday.
The Cock Robin has been looking for stripers at first before heading out to the fine bluefishing on both jigs and bait.
