Good fishing, but porgies are scarce....

We've been getting lots of keeper sea bass and fluke, but the keeper porgies have been mostly elusive, despite the warm weather and perfect conditions for catching scup. Bluefish are around, but not in big numbers except for specific deep-water spots. Striped bass are all schoolies during daytime fishing trips. Some large stripers are being caught between nightfall and dawn. Lots of menhaden are seen without anything under them. Of course, feisty sea robins are all around us all of the time, and young anglers really enjoy fighting them and reeling them in.
