THIS IS THE FINAL OFFSHORE REPORT OF THE YEAR!

Only one report rolled in from the waters in the past week, but it was a good one, so it’s posted below.

A few boats are still sailing offshore. Watch their Web sites for reports, and hop aboard the vessels for the last chance at big game until next year!

<b>Manasquan Inlet</b>

Yellowfin tuna and longfin tuna, plenty of them, were battled aboard Saturday at Toms Canyon after daybreak on the <b>Sea Devil</b> in 66-degree waters, and the trip was very good, the report on the boat’s Web site said. A 130-pound bluefin tuna, the biggest fish on the trip, and a 100-pound bigeye tuna were also shellacked after daybreak. Two small yellowfin tuna and an 80-pound swordfish were boated at night. The yellowfins on the trip averaged 30 pounds, and the longfins averaged 60 to 70. A third of the anglers scored multiple fish, and some lost more than they landed. Jack Tackett from Flemington was high hook with two yellowfins and two longfins. Only a few more of the trips are scheduled this season, and openings are available on Saturday evening and the following weekend. See the schedule and info on the boat’s Web site.
