Welcome Hudson River Fisherman’s Assn. Good luck today! Bass and small to medium size blues continue to find their way to local scales, there should be some nice fish caught today in the tournament. Bunker chunks and clams are the go to baits. Swimming plugs, poppers and metals are also producing. We have fresh bunker, fresh…

The beat goes on! Nice size bass and blues continue to be taken from our area beaches, just not in the numbers they were last week. Cur bunker and clams are still the go to baits with clams starting to take the lead in this kicked up surf. Swimming plugs and poppers are still taking…

Thank you my fellow veterans! Today veterans day is a time to reflect upon the sacrifices made by our past and present military, for not for them and their service we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have in this country. One the fishing front. Yesterday proved to be a hot day in our area,…

The fall bite is on again! Bring your rain gear today while fighting some fall run beauties. Nice size bass are back and along with them are 12 to 15 lb. class blues (real tackle busters), so you better show up prepared for battle. Large popping and swimming plugs are working well on these slammers. While…

Great fall conditions! Surf conditions are great, air is crisp and there is plenty of bait but the fishing is still a bit slow. The fish we were getting a few days ago was just the first wave in my opinion. There is still a large body of fish north of us made up of slammer blues and good size bass…

Well things have slowed down a bit from the past few days. Still there are some quality fish being  taken from the beaches and boats. Bunker remains the key bait for the present time so chunking from the beach and snag and drop from the boats are the way to go, but not the only way. Swimming plugs,…

Hot – Hot – Hot!  Barley describes the bass action over the last few days. Striped bass from 12 lbs. to 40 plus lbs. have been finding their way to local scales. Huge schools of bunker are moving up and down our coastline with hungry bass and blues on their tails. The boats are taking the lions…

As you must have heard by now the fall run of striped bass is in full swing in our area. Bunker schools are moving up and down the coast and large bass to 40 lbs. are hot on their trail. The boats are having a field day using the snag and drop method with trollers are also…

The bite is on!! This morning the bunker were pushed in to the beach in the Seaside Ortley beach areas. Hot on their tails are bass in the 12 lb. to 20 lb. class. Bunker chunks along with wide profile metals are scoring on these fish… John Yac

Keeper bass continue to find there way to local scales. Short to keeper size bass are being taken both on natural and artificial baits from Lavallette to IBSP. No real blitz but a steady pic for sure. Beach and water conditions are perfect with only a handful of fisherman taking advantage of the prime conditions… John…
