Thinking on going on a party boat on monday most likely the Norma k..always have a good time on it.. Anyone know of any other boats producing fish?
-
most of the party boats leaving from the same port and targeting the same fish, usually fish in most of the same spots... USUALLY...

Most of the headboats in Point are bottom fishing, while a few are jigging/chumming for bluefish.
If you are planning on going bottom fishing, a half-day boat like the NK3 or the J2 are going to be fishing relatively close to the inlet, since it takes time to anchor the boat, re-anchor, etc. They are NOT fishing the same spots, since if 2 headboats hit the same spot on the same day that piece will be picked over until Christmas.
All day boats like the Paramount and Dauntless can range a bit further, and they can hit more spots further from the inlet like the Mud Hole, which has been producing A LOT of ling.
The inshore snags are loaded with tiny seabass, some porgies, and a few small tog. Water is still warm.
Right now the best bet for bottom fishing would be to get on one of the all-day boats that are fishing the mud hole, as you have a better chance of catching A LOT of fish.
