Threshers rule!
The MBCA had its charity shark tournament (six $1000 awards to local college gowers) and it was all threshers all the time. One 108 lb mako was weighed in and no blue sharks, along with eight threshers ranging in size from 143 lbs to 518 lbs. The following are the results;

Overall the shark fishing has been excellent with three to four fish being caught about average, mostly bluesharks, but there have also been hammerheads, a tiger along with the usual makos and threshers being caught. And, more and more school bluefins being seen every day, as well as some being caught. Nice sized fish too, forty to fifty pounds.
Inshore, the fluke fishing is great, even if the eating isn’t. Lots of fish in the rips with lots and lots in the almost keeper size, along with occasional eating size fish.
Bass fishing is kind of up and down, with no rhyme or reason. One tide it’s great, the next it’s difficult. Parachutes and the big tubes are doing the job for the wire liners, but more boats are using the live scup. Bigger but fewer fish are on the baits. Also, I heard about the DEC checking out some boats for short scup, so be careful out there.
