IN THE NEWS
South Jersey Fishing Report for August: As we hit the month of August the tuna bite is in full stride with yellowfin being landed with regularity at the canyons, and bluefin hitting lures on the nearshore lumps. Trolling spreader bars and jigging have been working on both yellowfin and bluefin. The canyons are also loaded with good numbers of mahi. Fluke fishing began to rebound with a few days of north and easterly winds and there was some fish being caught on open bottom. The wrecks and reef sites have been producing some keepers, but anglers are doing better with sea bass and ling. The back bays continue to be good for flounder with shops reporting decent action on short fish, but anglers having to work for keepers.
