We were out fishing from the surf at the rips area of Sandy Hook on 7/10 in the morning.  Caught one short fluke on a squid/bunker combo around 6:00.  Didn't see anyone else doing much of anything with fluke the entire morning.  One guy using live killies had a couple ofshort fluke.  I didn't see any keepers off the beach.

Around 6:30 am a swarm of bluefish came by.  Caught a bunch using AV17 jigs with red surgi-tails.

After 7:00 or so it was real slow.  Nobody doing much of anything.

Went to the bay side around 11:00.  No fish, plenty of seaweed and bugs.

Went to Sandy Hook on Saturday - caught two short fluke on squid/spearing.  Caught one good size blue fich on bunker and lost another when he bite through thte line.  Around 9:30 a school of small blusfish came by.

One guy causght a big cow-nose ray on a killie.

Also, as of Saturday at Sandy Hook, from the surf, the seaweed wasn't too bad, but crabs were a problem.
