Rain gear this morning but you might be able to peel things of by afternoon. While we still wait on the southward bass migration we still have plenty of small blues around to take up our time. Mullet remains the bait of choice for these little guys while poppers, small swimmers and thin metals will…

Summer? Fall? you pick, and if your confused, so are the fish. Striped bass in our area sensing that the water temps are still too warm to start them on their fall run and feeding frenzie, remain in a holding pattern regardless of the calendar date. Thank God for the small blues keeping the anglers busy…

We are finely up and running!! Thanks all of you for your patience. Reports of short to keeper size bass at first light and dusk are coming in from Ortley Beach to IBSP. Clams and swimming plugs are doing the trick on the bass. Small blues are still chasing mullet. Cut bunker and mullet fished hole…
