With todays showery forecast you will definitely find more room to fish for a Sunday that is. Yes fluke and blues remain the number one target by day while the brown shark bite continues by night. The fall run is around the corner so don’t let it take you by surprise. Now is a great time to…

Some of our tight lipped regulars have been picking some nice fluke from the surf at IBSP, these fish are not hitting the scales at the local shops but they are being taken. Gulp rigged all different ways and the tried and true live killie/squid combo are the baits of choice. The brown shark bite at night in…

Put away your rain gear for the next few days at least, sunshine is back and the beaches will be humming once again. Small to keeper size fluke with assorted size blues are daytime targets while brown sharks and rays fill the night time activity. Crabbing is a bit off since the full moon and snappers are still…

You can sleep in a little this morning, the weather is suppose to clear this afternoon, so a late afternoon or early evening fishing trip may be in order today. Still the same cast of characters along the surf line. Small blues and a occasional keeper fluke by day with brown sharks and rays at…

Thunder showers forecasted for today and tomorrow will definitely thin out the summer bathers and fair weather fisherman.

If we can only bottle this weather for use later on in the season, I guess that’s a little to much to ask. So while it’s here why not take full advantage and grab your gear and head to the beach. Small blues and small to keeper size fluke are still putting bends in anglers rods.…

You have to try hard to come up with a excuse why not to go fishing or crabbing today. The weather forecast for today and right through the weekend is looking spectacular. Small to medium sized blues with short to keeper size fluke are being taken now and again in the surf. Crabbing is holding it’s…

Crabbing is somewhat down this week from that feverish pace of the last couple of weeks. Both rental boats and dock crabbers are still getting their fair share but not the numbers that we have been seeing. Fluking in the bay is still a matter of weeding through all those shorts to come up with a…

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…
