Folks,

Looking to seine some spearing tomorrow to try for false albacore and bonita Monday. Want to stock the freezer with some albacore for fall mako fishing the next few weeks. Any idea where it would be good to seine for spearing. Years ago I used to get them good at the first cove at Sandy Hook on the bay side as well as on the northeastern side of the oceanic bridge. Any suggested spots would be appreciated. Looking to fill a 5 gallon bucket for chum and bait.

Thanks

Dakota

We used to get them here in union beach. Not sure what it's going to be like after this rain/wind.

Good luck

If you wait until the J2 leaves in the am they were swimming all over the place on Friday. One of the guys caught a mess of them with a cast net last week.

That first cove was great. I once watched a group of Asian decent catch a slew with one drag of a 15"net. Couldn't believe they were keeping the spearing and throwing the blue claws back(nice jimmies) they said they batter and deep fry them.

Try the small beach around the short pier on the Navesink River at the foot of Fair Haven Road.
