We find ourselves in the summer surf fishing mode now, wow did that come fast! Small to medium size blues mostly on cut baits, bass mostly shorts with the occasional keeper taking clams. Fluke this time of year is the number one target in the surf. The best method to score on these tasty fish…

Fishing improves some along with the weather. Big blues have been hitting the beaches just north of us. Fluke and king fish are taking up residence in the surf. Some whispers of keeper bass on bait have been circulating but we have no solid proof as of yet. The back bay behind IBSP is still…

Larger blues, more fluke and kingfish is the surf report for today. Nice size blues on cut bait, keeper fluke taking bucktails tipped with gulp or squid and kingfish on small hooks baited with worms, strips of clam and the ultimate stay on the hook fish after fish “Fishbites” artificial blood worm scented strips.

With great weather forecasted for the next several days surf fishing activity will surly be on the rise. The surf is giving up some nice fluke and some medium size blues to those willing to put in some effort. The bay behind IBSP is still seeing some top water action with 2 to 3 plus…

Crabbing in the hottest ticket right now. Nice catches of 5 plus inch crabs are being taken both from our rental boats and off our dock. Surf fishing has become a waiting game for the bait fisherman while bucktailing for fluke is a cover as much ground as you can to find the fish game. The night time…

The early weather forecast looking not so good, but hopefully will improve as the day progresses. Some fluke on bucktail gulp combos and some small blues on cut baits paints the surf picture right now. Crabbing in the bay continues to improve… John Yac
