Slow yesterday mostly due to the weather and lack of bait out front. Today’s forecast is much more conducive to surf fishing. Reports of small blues chasing bait with birds diving in the Lavallette Ortley beach area are coming into the shop. The bay bite is about the same and there is still a lack of crabs…

The pick of bass, blues and fluke in the surf continues. Mixed sizes of blues with small to keeper size fluke are still being taken from Barnegat Inlet to the south, and north to the Mathis/Tunney Bridge. FINALLY!, some keeper CRABS were taken yesterday off our dock, not a ton but definitely worth the time and effort trying… John…

There are still some nice size keeper bass finding their way to the local scales. These fish are being taken mostly on cut bunker and clams out front on our ocean beaches. The bay is still producing some slammer blues if you know where to seek them out. Case in point, one of our regular…

More of the same out front! Slow pick of bass, blues and fluke being caught on bait and lures alike. That is if you are lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time! The bay is still producing small to medium size blues, with small to keeper size fluke in all the usual spots,…

The surf bite on cut bait yesterday in IBSP was on the up tic for sure. Several nice keeper bass were taken on cut bunker and a few anglers were reporting more then one keeper landed. Fluke fishing in the surf remains good from Lavallette thru IBSP. Bucktails tipped with gulp seem to be the…

The pick goes on! A few short bass and mid size blues were taken yesterday from Seaside Park thru IBSP. The bass fell to clams while the blues were taken on cut bunker and poppers. Lavallette and Ortley beach areas gave up a couple of keeper flatties, on gulp tipped bucktails in the surf. We…

We are in the slow pick mode for sure! Both the surf and boat guys alike are experiencing fish here and there but nothing to talk about for sure. Bluefish, bass and fluke are in the surf when you can find them willing to bite. Blue fishing in the bay is a little better with…

The beach bite has slowed some what possibly due to the on and off southerly winds of the past few days, which drops the water temperatures and slows down the bite. The bay on the other hand has been producing some nice bluefish action the past couple of days. The bridge areas and just off our…

The surf and bay bite remains the same! Bass, blues and now fluke are being taken by diligent anglers willing to put in the time regardless of the weather or the stage of the tide out front. Bait remains the number one choice of these hungry fish. While artificial lures, fished by dedicated plug casters are…

Overall no a bad Memorial Day weekend in the surf! A few really nice size bass plus double digit weight class blues were taken clams and cut bunker in the surf. The bay was invaded by schools of cocktail blues popping up all over out back of us. I wish I could tell you when the…
