With the fall run in our rear view mirror, now is a great time to take care of your hard used tackle. Those reels that are starting to feel like something is just not right or badly cracked guide wraps and loose tips. Just stop by the shop and let us take a look. We…

The most under rated pan fish in now in abundance in the surf and in the back bays. What am I talking about? Nice size snapper blues! Yes these great eating fish will hit just about any small reflective metal along with spearing, small strips of squid or clam. With their presents in the surf, larger…

Weather’s HOT fishing’s NOT. Sorry for such a downer of an opening, but it is what it is. Surf fishing in our area seems to be on hold for the most part, and were hoping upon hope that the upcoming cold front will break this oppressive weather and kick start the surf action a bit……

Not much to report due to yesterday’s oppressive weather. With today’s better forecast the slow bluefish fluke pick in the surf should continue. The night time shark action remains good in IBSP. Crabbing in the bay is steady while small snapper blues are on the rise… John Yac

More tolerable weather forecasted for the weekend should make surf fishing more attractive. It’s hard to get a good report on what’s happening with so few anglers. But just going by the time of year, fluke and small blues should be the one two punch right now during the daylight hours with shark fishing during the…

There are some nice size fluke being taken in IBSP not a ton but some nice 2 – 4 lb. fish. These great eating flatties seem to be favoring a variety of natural cut baits. Bluefish strips, peanut bunker, live killies, spearing and squid combos or just squid strips alone all fished on ether a…
