Fishing conditions good with some fish cooperating. Small blues and small bass remain the cry coming from our beaches. You know the drill, cut mullet and small metals by day for the blues. Clams and swimming plugs for the bass mostly at night and first light. Yes believe it or not we’re still catching keeper…

Possible rain gear day! Only 20% chance but better safe than sorry. Still some small blues taken cut mullet and small metals. More and more short bass are being reported, while clams during the day seems to be the ticket, swimming plugs are catching them on night tides right up to first light. Also live eels fished in likely…

The big girls are starting to make their appearance! Yes striped bass up to 28 lbs. were taken just off shore the last couple of days. Yes, you guessed it, snag and drop was the method used. The surf on the other hand is producing small to medium size blues on cut mullet. Metals and poppers will…

Just about back on track! The water has cleaned up some, the surf is manageable, now and all that is needed is a little more sand on some of our beaches. For the fisherman that have ventured out, short bass on clams and some small blues mostly on mullet was the rewards for their efforts. We have fresh…

Much better fishing day! With each passing tide the water will become more and more fishable. Things will go back to normal we hope, with the bait fish running the shore line and hungry fish hot in pursuit. Instead of waiting for a phone call saying the bite is on, get out there and see for…

Believe it or not it looks like we dodged a bullet! With Joaquin on a track not to make landfall anywhere on the east coast we can have a sigh of relief. Our beaches are taken some what of a beating never the less with all these strong NE winds and higher tides but no where near the damage…

No Joaquin yet! Still time to slip into your rain gear and get a few casts in. With the storm somewhat stalled off the Bahamas and forecasted not to be in our area till the end of the week. The surf fishing although challenging but not impossible is still there for those willing to give it a shot.…

You have a small window to get some surf fishing in before things get a bit hairy. There is plenty of mullet out there and you know where there is bait there is fish. Point Pleasant Beach area has been having a steady pick of small bass during the night tides on swimmers and live eels.…

Last day of fluke season! Easterly winds continue to hit our beaches making fishing them challenging to say the least. Still plenty of bait out there in all that mess but finding the fish and being able to get to them is another matter. There is still some keeper crabs being taken from our dock…

One of surf fisherman’s favorite times of the year is finely here. Welcome Fall! The strong easterly winds continue making surf fish more than challenging. Heavy metals and buck tails were still taking blues yesterday while trying to hold bottom was just about impossible. There is no relief in sight from these strong easterly winds so…
