Miss Belmar Princess has been in hot pursuit searching for those massive schools of mackerel. Captain Jimmy reported on
NJSaltwaterfisherman.com that he hit some bigger fish within striking distance and they should stick around for a while. As I always say Mackerel fishing is a great trip with plenty of action and multiple hook ups. Dress warm and give it a shot, it’s a blast.
