Two baits you must have with you when you set out for the surf today. Mullet for those small to med size blues that will show up now and again and Gulp a superior artificial bait that can be fished many ways for those great tasting fluke you will find in the surf line. Island Beach State Park is still the place to be right now for surf fishing due to their 2 fluke at 16″ program. Just don’t forget to check them in at the weigh station located about 1 mile south of the main gate. Crabbing is still hot in the bay and now it seems the crabs are spreading out and being caught in many different areas. Small blues and keeper fluke are becoming harder and harder to find in the bay while snapper blues are plentiful. The word on blow fish is, small catches are being reported in the areas of the BB and BI buoys from boats giving it a good try…. John Yac
