Fishing Report 4/28/15

Written on: April 28th, 2015 in Fishing Report

John Nedelka of the Karen Sue had a great catch of tog and bluefish over the weekend inshore.  Dave Collins of Capt Ike had a nice catch of tog as well.  Along the beaches bluefish were landed on a consistent basis.  Small rockfish with a few keepers have shown up in the bay.  Down south off of NC there have been nice catches of yellowfin tunas and sharks.  Let’s hope the warmer water and the fish move up soon.
