Striped bass are moving into our area, not alot as yet but keepers never the less. Small blues are chasing the mullet schools but what I think the really good news is sand eels are also present. Several of the blue fish cleaned at our store had sand eels in their stomach’s. You know what…

Mullet up and down the beaches with few fisherman on them and even fewer fish. With mullet now running our beaches a sure sign the fall run is about to get underway! Make sure your tackle is up to par and your lures and hooks are ready to go. What ever you might be missing…

How many shots can our area take! Fire swept a large part of the boardwalk starting about 2:30 PM yesterday and lasted through the night. The road to IBSP is blocked by fire hoses pumping water from the bay and should be removed by 9AM or so. RT 37 over the bridge to our shop…

Keeper fluke seem to be everywhere! Not only everywhere but taking all kinds of bait fished on any rig with a hook. I know this sounds like tackle shop hype but case in point. Yesterday out back of our store a 20 plus inch flattie was caught on a high/lo rig baited with salted clams?…

Beat the heat! Stand at the waters edge with a fishing pole in hand and give those end of season fluke a shot and if you’r a early riser and like to fish first light small bass are increasing in numbers daily. Bucktail gulp combo is the way to go with the fluke and small swimming plugs…

Fluke fishing at the mouth of the inlet remains good still pleanty of fish up and down the beach, look for the cuts and drop offs to place your bucktail gulp combos. Not too many days left to enjoy this tasty fishery. More and more small bass are being reported from Ortley Beach to IBSP…

Some nice fluke on bucktail and teaser tipped with gulp in the surf is the way to go. Cocktail blues and blackfish were taken from the jetty. We have fresh bunker and clams as well as an assortment of frozen baits for your fishing needs. Crabbing from the dock was a little slow but our…

And the beat goes on and on! Fluke fishing in the surf looks like it keeps getting better and better. It’s ashame we only have a few days left but we shouldn’t complain for the extended season is playing right into the bigger fish on the beach. A mixed bag of blues of different sizes are…

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…

Falling tide for the day time fisherman and a nice flat clean ocean provides great conditions to try for those tasty flatties. Only a couple of weeks left to enjoy a great dinner treat so lets not waste perfect conditions. Some excitement yesterday on the dock when a dock regular landed a cow nose ray…
