Smaller fish are becoming plentiful, and bluefish are cutting off baits. Live liners using whole spot or alewife are doing very well on bot big rock and snapper blues. James McCormick, Shawn Kingsberry, Pat Micielli, Ronald Blount, Luke Knott, and Brian Harper with Trophy Rockfish Croaker fishing is excellent. The fish are skinny and even an 18 inch fish may weigh only a couple pounds. In a few weeks these fish will fatten up and weigh much more.
Tiny trout are plentiful.
Some bigger fish are mixed in with one 5 pounder reported this week. Spot continue to filter in slowly. A report of a flounder catch came in Saturday. The biggest flounder was 23 inches. The gloomy, cold, rainy weather spoiled a lot of fishing trips this past week, and the forecast is not much better this week.
