Northeast Saltwater Reports: July 2008 Archives

Marine Synopsis:

A weak low will slowly lift northeast from off the New Jersey coast this morning...to the Gulf of Maine by this evening. A strong cold front will slowly approach from the west Friday night and Saturday...then cross the tri-state Saturday night. Weak high pressure will build in from the southwest Sunday and Sunday night. An Alberta clipper system will then approach from the west Monday...and drag its trailing cold front through the region Monday night. Canadian high pressure then builds in for the middle of the week.

Fishing Report:

The National Weather Service has issued a small craft advisory for New York Harbor. Despite the poor weather the fishing is solid. Large schools of bunker abound and there are the occasional schools of herring. Strippers have been caught using both surface and subsurface presentations. Overall the average size is good and there is always the chance for hooking into a real bruiser out there. Don’t forget to key in on the birds. Tight Lines
