Hi Hareball,
The canyon fishery is the best I have seen. There is life everywhere and bigger fish moving in.
There are also a ton of fish (bluefin) in the Mudhole/Glory Hole area.
Inshore, it is off the hook. There are big schools of bass (yes bass), blues, bonito and false albacore to target. I am taking the boat out tomorrow to burn some of the gas off and throw A27/47s a bit. They are up and gone the coast north and south of Manasquan Inlet. They look just out of range of the surfcasters. Maybe they will get a shot at them soon (come on NE or E wind).
Sorry surfcasters - this was the year you needed a boat so far.
Well anyway, that is a long way of saying ... try to get offshore!
Best wishes,
Ed
