Small blues seem to be the only game in town for our area surf anglers. First light and dusk seem to be the prime time. Cut mullet and bunker on the bait side while small metals and poppers will cover most situations on the artificial side. Crabbing remains steady from our dock and rental boats.…

Rain gear day! Much needed rain in the forecast today. Small blues and a few fluke in the surf right now if you happen to be in the right place at the right time. Mullet and cut bunker are working on the blues, while gulp or squid tipped on a buck tail jig is accounting…

It’s Friday night and you know what that means, FISH FRY at the dock. If you like fresh cod, shrimp, scallops, clam strips, whole belly clams fried to perfection The Dock Café is where you should be on a Friday night 3 PM to 7 PM. Our dinning room over looks the dock and bay.…

Summer is finally here along with the weekend crowds. Weekdays are a lot better so far with less fisherman and sun bathers to contend with. The bass bite in the surf remains a pick and fluke fishing is starting to pick up. Crabbing remains very good from our dock and crabbing boats… John Yac

Boats and Kayaks have fun, surf guys not so much! Find the schools of bunker find the fish. That’s the game being played right now by boaters and kayakers alike. The surf guy on the other hand must have the bait within casting range to score. Cut bunker and mullet along with fresh clams are…

Boats are still doing good on the spring run bass. Trolling large bunker spoons and using the snag and drop method is putting boat anglers into 40 plus lb. fish. In contrast the surf angler right now has fewer and smaller blues with a occasional keeper bass in the mix for his targets. Crabbing remains good…

The hot bite award yesterday has to go to the blue claw crab! Catches of 2 to 3 dozen plus nice keepers was the norm for those venturing out on our dock. If crab sauce or steamed crabs or both are on your mind come on down. Fishing brought a mixed bag of fish yesterday with…

A lot of bait in the wash but not many fish! Anglers are finding schools of bunker moving in and out of casting range from Seaside Park thru IBSP but very few fish are in pursuit. The hot spot still seems to be the very southern end of IBSP where they are picking blues and keeper…
