Favorable winds, bait present, seasonable air and water temperatures, what more can a surf angler want? Maybe some of those big girls the boat guys have been playing with for the past several days for starters would be nice! But patience is a virtue they say and never more true than in the life of…

Surf guys may be still picking, but Tony Maja #4 bunker spoons strikes again! Got a call last night from Tony’s field rep. Walt D. reporting another banner day trolling spoons off the bathing beaches of IBSP. Walt and a buddy trolled up 20 nice bass from 25 lbs. to 46 lbs. before exhaustion set in. Now that’s a dream day…

We seem to be in a holding pattern right now! The bass bite in our area remains the same both in size and weight of fish being taken. The hotter action right now seems to be to our north with schools of peanut bunker along with schools of adult bunker present. All we need is for…

Find the bunker by day for some snag and drop action. Fish cut bunker or clams by day in the usual good looking spots. Plug hard at night and keep moving. These three methods should put you into some nice fall run bass, with a little luck of course! The weather looks good for the next…

Well some boat guys and some surf guys alike had some outstanding fall run bass action yesterday. A large adult bunker school showed up yesterday from Lavallette and just to the north. At first the few boats in the area were snagging and dropping to some quality fish. As the surf guys watched in envy…

The bass bite continues along our beaches with more and more bait showing up daily. Just got a call from Tony Maja’s field rep. Walt D. who was out trolling Tony Maja #4 bunker spoons this morning off Seaside Park, he landed and released 4 nice bass in the upper 40″ class. So these fish…

Happy Veteran’s Day to all who served in this great country’s military forces. Don’t forget to shake the hand of our vets today and thank them for their service. For not for them and all those who are serving today we wouldn’t be enjoying the freedom’s this great country of ours has to offer! Fishing…

The surf conditions improve with each tide and today’s NW winds should only improve conditions even more. The bite remains the same, short to keeper size bass are being taken from Lavallette to IBSP. Cut baits remain the number one producer of these fish with swimmers, poppers and rubber shads also hooking up… John Yac…

The bass bite remains the same along the surf. You can add rubber shads to your list of artificials in your bag, for these great little swimmers are taking short to keeper size bass right now. The boat guys are running up and down the coast with their spoons and mojos in tow in search of the big girls.…

When they say 10% of the fisherman catch 90% of the fish they couldn’t more correct! While the lions share of surfcasters sit at home reading the reports and waiting for the phone to ring, the dedicated few are out there pounding the beach and catching themselves some nice keeper bass in the 28″ to…
