I’m sure a lot of guys are busy picking up their last minute items for Thanksgiving today. But the shop will be open tomorrow Thanksgiving day from 5 AM till 12 noon for your traditional pre feast fishing trip. Our BLACK FRIDAY sale will feature 15% OFF all in stock items in our shop not including items…

A extra layer or two will be in order today! This is our first real taste of things to come. But despite the chill, there is still some quality fish roaming our surf line. Clams and cut bunker is still the bait way to go. While the artificial selections have moved to the slimmer baits, Ava and needle…

SAND EELS?? Sure starting to look that way. Some nice fish were taken on Ava and needle fish style baits the past two days. This usually signals sand eels are present. Birds diving on schools of bait with no visual water disturbance is another sign. If all this is true the bass bite should extend into…

East winds today will produce plenty of wave and white water conditions. The bait fishing surfcaster will find holding bottom a bit challenging and the plug caster will have to move to heavier lures that will cut into the wind. While the feeding bass and bluefish will be enjoying the turbulent conditions, finding ambushing their prey much easier.…

Better weather will bring more weigh-ins today for sure! There is still plenty of bait in our area with a good amount of bass and blues hot on their heels. It has been a toss up between cut bunker and clams for the number one bait for big fish from the surf. SP Minnows remain the number one swimming plug…

The bite yesterday in our area was hot once again! Large bass and blues fell to cut bunker and clams. On the artificial side, swimmers, poppers, metals and rubber swim shads all were taking fish. With the wet weather forecasted for tomorrow todays bite could be another good one! One more thing you might want…

To say the bass fishing this fall has been fantastic, is putting it mildly. The passed couple of days proved to be banner days for boat and beach fisherman alike. Weigh-ins from teen fish to 30 lbs. plus kept anglers busy. Bait, plugs, and metals all seem to be working. Add to that trolling large bunker spoons and Mann’s…

Welcome Hudson River Fisherman’s Assn. Good luck today! Bass and small to medium size blues continue to find their way to local scales, there should be some nice fish caught today in the tournament. Bunker chunks and clams are the go to baits. Swimming plugs, poppers and metals are also producing. We have fresh bunker, fresh…

The beat goes on! Nice size bass and blues continue to be taken from our area beaches, just not in the numbers they were last week. Cur bunker and clams are still the go to baits with clams starting to take the lead in this kicked up surf. Swimming plugs and poppers are still taking…

Thank you my fellow veterans! Today veterans day is a time to reflect upon the sacrifices made by our past and present military, for not for them and their service we would not be able to enjoy the freedoms we have in this country. One the fishing front. Yesterday proved to be a hot day in our area,…
