Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know it was another tough week with the ongoing northeast winds hitting the area throughout the week. No offshore reports came in but on Sunday afternoon when the wind settled down, a few boats were able to get out close to the point and get on some slot bass and bluefish to 6 pounds trolling. He's hopeful about the upcoming week due to the excellent forecast.

Mike from Star Island Yacht Club let me know tuna fishing anywhere from Tuna Ridge to the Butterfish Hole with live mackerel and squid as well as the troll has been producing. Bluefin along with yellowfin are both in the mix with the bluefin as close as 25 miles off the beach. The eel bite near Block for stripers has been excellent after dark. He’s been weighing 6 to 8-pound fluke on the regular also from Cartwright.
