Sportfishing boat Gaphia has the bragging rights to the first mako to hit the scale at Jims’ B&T in Cape May this season, also the first mako of the season in the port of Cape May. The mako weighed 178 pounds. Crew member Tony was the angler. They also had some blue sharks. Looks like it could be a good year for the South Jersey Shark tournament! The South Jersey Shark tournament is this weekend. I caught keeper flounder number 50 today. I look for the flounder bite to slow down until the tide cycles around. The flounder bite is always better when we have at least a 4.2 high tide during day light hours.The water temperature was 62.5 degrees on the in coming tide. The wind was about 15 mph out of the south.
