If you don’t think the fall and fall run is just around corner just step out on the beach, the chill in the air and the ocean temps starting to drop all signal the surfcaster’s favoriate time of the year. The ocean daytime bite remains the same, fluke and a mix of sizes on blue fish when present. Bucktail jigs with gulp for the fluke and popping plugs and metal for the blues is still the way to go. The night time shark bite is just about over but still some wispering about short bass showing up at first light on small swimming plugs fished with a teaser. Crabbing remains slow, a lot of shorts but few keepers. Bottom fishing in the bay is good both from shore and boat. The same hot spots continue BB and BI buoy areas both west and south of those locations are really producing blow fish, king fish, small blues and some nice fluke. John Yac
