In the Back Bays there are plenty of Flounder being caught with a lot of shorts in the mix. Flounder are being caught at the Cape May Reef and the Old Grounds when conditions are right. Believe it or not, the Drum bite is still going on in the Delaware Bay. Along the beachfront in there are some Stripers being caught and small Stripers are moving into the back bays. Most are being caught in the evening or at night when the boat traffic slows down.

Offshore, Yellowfin Tuna are being caught from the Wilmington down to the Baltimore Canyon. There has been a good White Marlin bite NE of the Wilmington on the 100 Fathom line. The Big Bully II out of Wildwood, NJ went 3 for 4 on Bluefin Tuna an Massey's while trolling Blue Ilanders and Ballyhoo. Kim Bulifant of Wildwood, NJ weighed in her first ever Bluefin Tuna which tipped the scales at 45 pounds. She caught the fish at Massey's Canyon on the Big Bully II.
