The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

It's Friday night and you know what that means, FISH FRY at the dock. If you like fresh cod, shrimp, scallops, clam strips, whole belly clams fried to perfection The Dock Café is where you should be on a Friday night 3 PM to 7 PM. Our dinning room over looks the dock and bay. Outside seating is also available weather permitting... John Yac

Summer is finally here along with the weekend crowds. Weekdays are a lot better so far with less fisherman and sun bathers to contend with. The bass bite in the surf remains a pick and fluke fishing is starting to pick up. Crabbing remains very good from our dock and crabbing boats... John Yac

The surf bite remains quiet. A slow pick of smaller blue fish and a occasional short to keeper size bass rounds off the surf bite at present. Fluking remains a inlet area bite for now but these fish should be in the surf soon. Crabbing in the bay is excellent for this early in the year and our dock out back is producing well. Our boats have been doing well also with outstanding catches coming from the "good luck point" area... John Yac

Fishing seems to be in a holding pattern. Small to medium size blues with short to keeper size bass being picked by surf anglers. The boats and kayaks are still enjoying catching some nice size bass that are chasing bunker schools. Crabbing remains steady from our dock. Fluking remains a pick around and inside Manasquan and Barnegat inlets... John Yac

Boats and Kayaks have fun, surf guys not so much! Find the schools of bunker find the fish. That's the game being played right now by boaters and kayakers alike. The surf guy on the other hand must have the bait within casting range to score. Cut bunker and mullet along with fresh clams are covering the bait options. Swimming plugs, poppers and metals along with buck tail jigs round out the artificial lures being used. Crabbing remains hot off our dock... John Yac
