Blue fish are down in size a bit but not in numbers on our beaches. Striped bass are still being taken but no way near the numbers the blues are. Fresh cut baits and clams are always a sure way to go if your are looking to put some tasty treats on the table. Metal will always work when…

Things have slowed down a bit from the last two days but bluefish and striped bass are still being taken.
