| Aug 28, 2008 | 05:15 am | The rental boats are catching 1-3 dozen crabs on average. They are also having fun catching kingfish and snapper blues. This is a great time to take a kid fishing because the snapper blues are very cooperative and all it takes is a bobber and some spearing or some small metal to get them their first fish. Fluking from the sand and bay is providing lots of action but unfortunately keepers are still few...John |
| Aug 24, 2008 | 09:45 am | We had our largest fluke of the season weighed in last evening. James Blandino brought a 10.5 lb fish to the scales and reported catching another 7 keepers while fishing the Sea Girt Reef with his crew... Crabbing has fallen off the past few days after coming on strong earlier in the week. Kingfish rule in the area of the BB and BI buoys and snapper blues and small weakfish round out the catches around the Dock...John |
| Aug 23, 2008 | 08:00 am | Crabbing has still not rebounded the way it should hgave after the full moon last week. Hopefully this weekend will get things going again. The Dock is producing snapper blues and a pick of kingfish and small black drum. Scotty has been working the night shift on the bay and catching weakfish consistently on sandworms. Fluking on the outside is decent with alot of short fish still being caught. Earl Simkunis and his crew headed out to the reef and had 30+ fish with 8 keepers to about 6 lbs... Blues have been in and out of the surf sporadically this past week...John |
| Aug 19, 2008 | 05:15 am | Crabbing has rebounded nicely since the passing of the full moon this past Sat. Snappers, weakfish and Kingfish continue to be the prime targets for those fishing the bay. ..Ray and Penny Nebus have been fishing from his boat for fluke regularly and while reporting many throwbacks they did have fish from 4-6+ lbs this past week and an average of about 4 keepers per trip.
Fluking from the beaches remains good with mostly short fish being caught from the sand. Brown sharks and cownosed rays have made their presence known recently with some occasional blefish also being caught. |
| Aug 08, 2008 | 03:15 pm | Just received a load of fresh bunker this morning. Plenty of live killies are also in stock. Kingfish and snapper blues have been the primary catches in the bay this week with some weakfish also being caught on sandworms, clams and strip baits. Fluke are being caught on both sides of the island with plenty of shorts and a few keepers being landed. Gulp! swimming minnows are the hot ticket for fluke inside and out. Looks like a beautiful weekend so get out and fish!!!... John |
| Aug 03, 2008 | 07:00 am | We are open 7 days a week - 24 hours a day. |
| Aug 01, 2008 | 02:40 pm | The Dock Outfitters is open 24 hours a day...Crabbing remains excellent. Fishing in the bay is improving with weakfish now making their presence known in the areas @ and to the north and south of the Dock. Snappers are being caught, though they are still on the small side, and kingfish are providing fun and some good eating for those who are targeting them. Fluking remains good in the lower bay though many fish are still throwbacks. Fluking from the beaches is providing a lot of action but agin many of these fish are just under the leagal limit of 18". Those of you wishing to rent boats this weekend should arrive before 7AM if you're looking to guarantee yourself a boat...John |
| Jul 30, 2008 | 05:30 am | We now have shedder crabs in stock for weakfishing... Plenty of Snappers were caught off the Dock yesterday along with some crabs... |
| Jul 28, 2008 | 06:00 am | Sorry for the lack of reports but our site was not functioning properly for the past week or so. Crabbing remains good and fishing for snapper blues and kingfish is steady. Fluking in the bay near the inlet is decent with some keepers being caught. Fluking from the beach is mostly catch and release with a few keepers hjere and there...John |
| Jul 22, 2008 | 05:30 pm | Finally some positive reports. The Seaside Heights gang of George, Kevin and Earl took a trip to Oyster Creek channel and bailed the fluke, 40-50 total with 4 nice keepers and a few weakfish. Crabbing has rebounded nicely with lots of nice size keepers the past 2 days. My sons, Joe and John pulled in the overnite traps with 40 BIG crabs on Tues. evening. Snappers are becoming more consistant from the Dock and the rental boats...John |
