Fishing remains a slow pick mainly on clams, the more productive areas seems to be in IBSP. Make sure before you venture out today you have your rain gear with you the forecast is for  steady rain all day. Think on the bright side, it could be all snow!… John Yac The Dock Outfitters will be having…

Light NNW winds will make today very fishable, we still have some bait in our area just not a lot of fish in close. Still no word on the sand eel front. I haven’t heard of fish being cleaned that had sand eels in their stomach. So for now clams and cut bunker are your bait…

We are hoping like everyone else that fresh bait will arrive some time today. In the mean while salted clams and vacuum packed bunker will have to fill the bill. It’s still a night time surf bit, as far as we know, with Bomber and SP minnow type swimmers taking the few fish being caught. You may want to start throwing…

Short and sweet or not so sweet at all. What ever bass there is in our area it’s a “in the dark bite” for the surf guys right now. We are hoping this will change soon but without a good showing of sand eels in the wash we don’t have much to hang our hat on……

The large schools of bunker seem to be thinning out and so are the fisherman. Not many guys on the beach yesterday to get a accurate report on what’s happening in our area. With the warmer temps predicted for the next few days a increase in fishing activity is sure to follow. Still hearing reports…

A little better today, wind wise that is, but air temps are keeping most surf guys off the beaches. Schools of bunker remain just out of casting range and the few nice bass that have been caught the past few days were mostly on clams and SP minnow swimming plugs. It’s not over yet, reports…

Long Johns a must today before heading out. The winter chill will be with us for the next couple of days but the bass and blue fish are still biting. Boat guys still have the edge as always, finding the schools of bait then using the tried and true snag and drop method to limit…

Hudson River Tournament Day. Seaside Park will be buzzing with hopeful anglers braving the morning chill in hope of a winning fish. Large schools of bait remain just out of casting range with hungry bass on their heels. The bite from the beach is still clams, cut bunker and swimming plugs in that order. Night…

Another banner day yesterday for the boat guys, but what else is new? As frustrating as this may be for us surf jockeys, the one ray of hope from all this, is the fact that a least there is quality fish just out of our casting range. So for now we have to be content with a pick…

The lions share of bass are still being taken in the dark on clams, cut bunker and swimming plugs. Most of your favorite spots are producing so there is really no one or two locations you must be at. Daytime is a different matter altogether and finding the schools of bait is definitely the key. Thank…
