A few nice teen size bass have been finding their way to local scales! These fish have been taken on SP minnow style swimmers and cut bunker. This bite has been a evening activity so far. We are also hearing of small weakfish in the surf, a great time to fish a well placed sand worm…

Water and air temps continue in the right direction, with more and more small bass chasing swimming plugs on the night tides. We’re only two weeks, (I hope) from the start of the fall run according to my predictions?? Black fishing, even though it’s one fish per angler at 15″ till Nov. 6th when the bag…

Very fishable winds forecasted for today! There is some nice white water with clean surf conditions, lending itself to a perfect surf for fish artificial lures. The bite remains a pick of small bass and blues but as we all know that can change on a dime. The dock out back has slowed down plenty, with fewer and fewer keeper crabs being…

With gale winds in today’s forecast surf fishing in not high on most angler’s lists. So what can we do? Well if your anything like me and love to procrastinate about tuning up your tackle for the fall run this can be a bonus day for you. Checking, sharpening, and changing out rusted hooks should be…

We still seem to be in a holding pattern as far as the surf bite is concerned. Mid day yesterday one of our customers reported bait blowing up off of 14th street Seaside Park. The school was out of casting range off course so no fish to report. Still this is what we want to see…

The 30 lb. bass taken Saturday in IBSP on a bunker chunk sure raised a few eye brows! But so far it seems to be a one fish wonder. Trying to figure out the fall fish migrations is surly no easy matter. Wind direction, water temperatures and bait patterns all play important rolls. Add to that a…

Warm weather or good fishing?? That is the question! My vote is for the latter! The unseasonably warm temperatures we have been experiencing lately may be stretching the summer season for some but not the surf angler. Water temps need to drop, bait fish need to school up and migrate which will put migrating bass and blues…

With the small numbers of fisherman hitting the surf lately leads me to believe only one thing. The majority of fisherman are sitting at home scanning the local reports and waiting for the phone to ring and until they see some pictures of nice size bass hanging from local scales will they spring into action.…

The fishing report will be a mirror image of yesterday’s. With even warmer temps forecasted for today. Watch out for the sun bathers sitting in the beach buggy tracks in IBSP today in full violation of the “surf fishing only” beach rules. But that’s another story for another day. Crabbing is still a pick for those willing to give…

Another good weather day in the forecast! The surf is starting to show signs of life in the striped bass department, not a ton of keepers by no means, but the schoolies are starting to get a little frisky. Small swimming plugs are drawing the attention of these bass in the surf. Cocktail blues are also in…
