Look at Windguru after Sunday.

Why? 25-30 knots East isn’t good?:p

Main body of fish headed out late last week when we got this most recent blow. Very very scattered pockets of fish is all that's remains, and they'll be gone after this nor'easter comes through. What fish are still around are 90% shorts so for all practical purposes the season is over and commercials are going to do what they do best which is kill all the shorts we've released the entire summer while harvesting larger age groups. Absolute atrocity how this stock is being managed.

Agree and disagree. Yup main body of fish will move off but I can bet, according to what I've seen the last 3 seasons, there will be keepers to be had in spots.

Again, I can only specifically speak for the area I fish. But even tho the main body may move offshore, the guys fishing outside of every marina on the SH and Raritan know keepers will be there after this blow. Gorging on the bait pouring out.

I know this doesn't do squat for the head boats as its a small boat/kayak thing but the keeper fluke will be there.

Duffman I don't disagree but the fishery as a whole is a shadow of what is should be. Hope you get your 3 fish limit tomorrow but this fishery is in a death spiral. As they say, even a broken watch is correct twice a day and some people will catch a few keepers and maybe their measly three fish limit but overall the fishery is in dire straits .

In speaking with a charter Capt I respect the main body of fish are still around but quite north of us and up.

Not saying anyone is right or wrong but why talk anglers out of fluke fishing until the season actually ends? Doesn't do much to support our for hire fleet here in NJ! Everyday out there is different. Once it ends then we can discuss the rest but in the meanwhile GO FLUKE FISHING to support what we have left as a fleet.

Having said that we did not find them yesterday except shorts and a few keepers but had a good day on bones. NOAA forecast off a bit LOL

Its a shame to see that probably in my lifetime AHMH will have no headboats with the way its going. That to me is unreal.

Lots of quality fish around still

Monday we were done by 930

Fish are still here but in tight patches

Find those patches they are chewing hard
