The yellowfin bite continues offshore, and big bass linger in Raritan Bay while schoolies and slot fish hit the backwaters.
High winds and poor weather limited fishing to the bays and canals, where school striped bass and tautog entertained anglers willing to endure the conditions.
Bluefish, albies, Spanish mackerel and bonito flood the beaches, stripers follow suit, and porgies and tautog bite well around the rocks.
Fluking is good as the season's end nears, while hardtails become more active along ocean beaches in the early morning.
The "inshore" bluefin jig bite has picked up this week and fluke fishing continues to yield quality catches, meanwhile schoolies and cocktail blues bite in the bay.
