Blowfish from the “T” the same day. Been an unusual number of them in South to Central Jersey. A shot comes in to spawn in spring then disappears. Lots then arrive in summer.

Kingfish weren’t abundant but showed up. Like blowfish, some appear in spring, and more show up in summer. Here’s one from the inlet last week.
