The school bluefin tuna bite is strong off the coast of NJ. This past Tuesday Craig Falicon had an excellent trip on the troll, jigs and topwater and shared this video on Facebook.

Hi,
I am a newbie and wanted to know if there were any chances of catching some tuna not too far out from the Atlantic Highlands? I only have a 2006 23′ hydra-sports cc with a Yamaha 250 so can’t venture out too far. Any help would be appreciated.

Sid,
I would think your chances are very good. I would start in the area of the oil wreck and troll south towards little italy and the slough. We were about 55 miles from the hook in this video but as you can see we are fishing a 23 Regulator with a single, but always pick our days and have a buddy boat.

Looks like a great day… So cool to see tag and release… would very much like to be the third boat and learn all I can from you guys…
