A trip in CNJ around the 3rd week of November - I saw hundreds of big bluefins (200 to 400 lb class) jumping all over the place around 8 to 10 miles offshore. Trolling was working but jig and pop can be tough for those.

Was ALOT of fish caught bigger than 400 .
Had friends with commercial permits selling fish that were 700 gutted and headless
