New Jersey didn’t even get a close brush from Hurricane Earl, but we’ll have to wait another day or two to determine the effects of large waves. There was so little wind in the morning that I tried surfcasting at Sea Girt. A couple of pros were coming off when I arrived as they said the approaching storm had the opposite effect expected — drawing water off the beach. I tried anyway, and found acouple of pools that looked like pssibilities, but only got the exercise that was the primary reason for the venture.

The Cock Robin from Point Pleasant won’t be sailing for blues on Saturday, but resumes on Sunday. The northwest winds predicted should knock down the big seas, making Sunday fishable — and setting up a nice Labor Day for the end of the fluke season. Even the small craft warnings for Saturday are based on the gusty west winds that will be calming the sea. Anglers can still fish some protected areas, such as Raritan and Barnegat bays, if they have wind and tide together. The surf will probably take a couple of tide changes to clear up.

There was an error in Friday’s column asI added an “a” to the name of the company making the American Red Cross Clipray hand-cranked emergency flashlight. The company name is Eton , not “Eaton” — and the web site for info is www.etoncorp.com.

Not only does a storm like that make getting out and fishing an iffy thing, it often puts a hit on fishing for a while afterward.
