Put away your rain gear for the next few days at least, sunshine is back and the beaches will be humming once again. Small to keeper size fluke with assorted size blues are daytime targets while brown sharks and rays fill the night time activity. Crabbing is a bit off since the full moon and snappers are still…

You can sleep in a little this morning, the weather is suppose to clear this afternoon, so a late afternoon or early evening fishing trip may be in order today. Still the same cast of characters along the surf line. Small blues and a occasional keeper fluke by day with brown sharks and rays at…

Thunder showers forecasted for today and tomorrow will definitely thin out the summer bathers and fair weather fisherman. Pay close attention to any lighting in the area while fishing the beach these next two days. August’s phantom albacore have been sighted along our beaches, but being at the right place at the right is like winning…

We are still in that summer holding pattern as far as the surf fishing goes, but with the cooler evenings and the northerly winds to stir up the surf a bit thing will slowly start to change. Small striped bass will start moving in and out when the surf is up, this is the first sign…

If we can only bottle this weather for use later on in the season, I guess that’s a little to much to ask. So while it’s here why not take full advantage and grab your gear and head to the beach. Small blues and small to keeper size fluke are still putting bends in anglers rods.…

Crabbing is somewhat down this week from that feverish pace of the last couple of weeks. Both rental boats and dock crabbers are still getting their fair share but not the numbers that we have been seeing. Fluking in the bay is still a matter of weeding through all those shorts to come up with a…

Two baits you must have with you when you set out for the surf today. Mullet for those small to med size blues that will show up now and again and Gulp a superior artificial bait that can be fished many ways for those great tasting fluke you will find in the surf line. Island Beach State Park…

Nice day to resume your favorite pastime of fishing or crabbing that is. The weather for today and tomorrow will be favorable so why not give it a shot. The summer months are slipping by rapidly and the days of walking the beach with rod in hand and wearing only shorts and tee shirt or relaxing on the dock while…

Not much to report on today due to yesterdays wash out. Today will be better to give the fishing or crabbing in our area a shot. As far as fish goes, small blues and keeper fluke are still in the surf from Sandy Hook to the north and Long Beach Island to the south. It’s just as…
