Got in on the inshore bluefin tuna / squid bite off Seaside Heights. It is a large area east of Seaside lumps and north of the Tolten lump.
Big fleet there. can't miss it.
Less than 15 miles from Manasquan inlet. maybe 10 off the beach. Still get cell service there! 85-90 ft of water.

Got out last Tuesday at 130 PM and had a 57" BFT and back by 6PM
My buddy's wife was catching dock stripers while I cleaned tuna.

Got out again Saturday at 3 pm. Caught 10 gallons of squid. No tuna bites. Saw a few boated but it was slow.

We were out Monday at the spot off Seaside Heights. Jigging squid and putting them out live. We got about a 60 pound bluefin to the boat and broke off the leader.
We had him on the the heaviest rod. Penn two speed 80w on a bent butt in a swivel rodholder. Cranked him in fast after two runs. With the swivel near the rod tip, I told my buddy, "pick up the rod and walk it back so I can gaff him". He said " I'll just leader him" and I said "we always lose when we do that".
So he takes up the leader, taking tension off the main line and the main line and swivel immediately flip over the rod tip.The fish dives and 'click'... leader breaks...

I saw a V20 cuddy with a hardtop out there and another with a bimini. Wonder how they did?


We stopped at a wreck on the way home and got our seabass limit and a keeper fluke to add to a gallon of fresh squid.
