The surf remains a mixed bag of short and keeper bass, not a ton but some nice fish never the less. The anglers that are scoring are doing so under the cover of darkness. Just because you are fishing at night is still no guarantee you will hook a keeper bass. The right lure, with…

Yesterday was another good day for boat fisherman. Flat calm seas added to the enjoyment of the catch. Just ask Pat Jolly, he was trolling bunker spoons out side of Shark River Inlet and weighed in a nice 20.75 lb. 41″ bass as part of his day’s enjoyment. We also got a shout from Walt…

Sorry we were unable to post a report yesterday on one of the most important days of the year, Veterans Day! Our special thanks from all of us here at the Dock Outfitters to all the veterans who served this great country of ours and the sacrifices they all made to keep our country free,…

The surf bite remains spotty, but the few fish that are finding their way to the local scales seem to increasing in size. With more favorable wind direction today from the west and air temperatures in the upper 40’s this will make the surf conditions quite fishable for the surf angler. Cut bunker was responsible for the few…

Rain gear and a extra layer of clothing is in order today before heading out on your fishing adventure. Rain and high winds later today will make conditions a bit challenging to say the least. There were not many fish landed yesterday from boat and surf alike. As far as the surf report goes, the few…

Things were heating up nicely yesterday with short to keeper size bass taking everything from cut bunker and clams to thin medals, swimmers and rubber shads. The bite was spread out from Lavallette to the north thru IBSP to the south. Not everyone was hooked up but several anglers were in the right place at the…

Finely some long awaited west winds. Surf conditions today will be a lot more favorable for surf fishing either with bait or artificial lures. We’re hearing a lot of talk about sand eels starting to show in our area and that always spells a good long lasting bass bite, we will see. If I were…

So, so pick of short to keeper size bass right now along our beaches. The precipitation and high winds of the past several days has kept many anglers at home. The few dedicated ones who did venture out were rewarded with several nice keeper bass and a bunch of hard fighting shorts. Fresh baits and lures…

Gale winds in the forecast today spells trouble for the boat guys, while surfcasters will be fine with the duns at there back! Some quality fish are starting to be taken in our area the past few days. Boaters had fish in the Manasquan Inlet area and just to the south. Now is the time to put…

Moderate to strong SW winds forecasted today thru Saturday. Saturday evening the wind will go NW, a more favorable direction for fishing our beaches. Some of the larger fish up north have slipped down to off of Manasquan Inlet yesterday, with a few lucky boaters cashing in on the action. Good casting swimmers and paddle tails are…
