The party goes on just out of our reach of the shore bound angler as usual. Surf anglers from Lavallette to Seaside Park yesterday stood and watched boat anglers take fish while there rods remained silent. There is plenty of bait just off shore but for surf bound anglers it’s just out of reach. The bite…

A huge, “Thank you for your service” to all my fellow veterans today, for without them the freedoms we enjoy and sometimes take for granted in this great country of ours would not exist! “Land of the free because of the brave”. The weather remains great, a few more bass would be nice, but there…

Things have slowed down a bit from the hot in close action shore bound anglers have been enjoying. Still plenty of bait around from peanut bunker to full size bunker with clouds of rain fish coming and going. The important thing to remember when there is several different baits around is to match the hatch!…

The north jetty at Island Beach Park is finely open to fishing! One of the premier fishing spots in IBSP is now available to shore bound anglers. A couple of extra layers of clothing won’t hurt today before heading to the beach. There is still plenty of bait around and large blues and striped bass are still…

You can add some slammer blues to the list of big boys hitting the beach. Blue fish in the 10 lb plus range were mixed in with the bass chasing those schools of bunker yesterday. The majority of action has been on bunker and the snag and drop method is still your best bet when…

A nice body of good size bass moved in along our beaches yesterday, they were hot on the trail of a school of full size bunker and gave shore bound anglers a shot at what boat fisherman take for granted. Big popping plugs and swimmers took their share of fish but the number one method by…

Well we’re finally up and running once again, hope they got all the bugs out this time. Yesterday we had some quality fish hit the beach in IBSP. The fish were in the 20 lb class and were taken on the snag and drop method. There were large schools of peanut to full size bunker…

Tired of reading about all the big bass the boats are getting Manasquan and north? Well I wish I had something different to tell you, but I don’t. The only positive that comes out of this is, the fish are close, they are on big schools of bunker, and all it would take is for the…

Big fish are still to the north of Manasquan on large school of bunker, while we still pick away on shorts with a few keepers mixed in. Most of our bass have been taken on clams in the surf between Seaside Park and IBSP.  Rain fish is the predominate bait in our area right now with some…

Why the bass are still reluctant to move south along our beaches are any bodies guess. I’m sure it has all to do with the schools of bunker north of the Manasquan inlet, once again boats are playing the snag and drop game and taking some nice 20 lb. class fish. Thank God we still…
