Moderate east winds continued during the weekend.
While wind from such a direction tends to slow fishing overall, this time of year it often ignites a run of bull reds.
It appears that is what is taking place.
East winds create more intense waves and when they roll across the surf and around the jetties, bull reds begin to take action.
Reports from the beach front indicate that night time action has been prolific and the jetties are taking up the slack on reds during the day.
Chester McMillan was one of the anglers fishing the rock groins across from Academy on Friday night and reported that he landed two bull reds, tagging and retaining one and releasing the other.
Others fishing nearby also were hooking up with the big reds.
Mark Hill and Rocky Listen fished San Luis Pass on Friday night and encountered a flurry of action on both bull reds and sharks. The anglers from Sea Isle battled at least 10 fish ranging in size from estimated lengths of 3 to 5 feet. The action came between 9:30 p.m. and midnight when the anglers wore out bringing in the brutes. Large shad and whole mullet were the baits.
