The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

Fluke Season begins! Our shop is ready! All kinds of rigs, Gulp, buck tails, striped baits and of course LIVE KILLIES! Large blues with some bass mixed in continue to chase schools of bunker from Ortley Beach to IBSP. These blues are hitting just about anything you toss at them. The number one bait right now is cut bunker but clams and mullet are also working. Keeper crabs are being taken off our dock, it's a slow pick but nice keepers are being taken... John Yac

Blue fish yesterday south end of IBSP. Cut bunker, large poppers and metals accounted for some double digit blues being taken. Schools of bunker are in and just out of casting distance from Ortley Beach to IBSP. The trick is first to get out there and second to be in the right place at the right time, that's surf fishing...

Find the bunker schools find the fish! Blues and bass continue to feed heavy on bunker and there seems to be no end in sight, that's a good thing. These bunker schools are coming within casting distance of the beach so have your bunker snag rod ready! Large pencil poppers fished around the schools of bunker are also scoring... John Yac P.S. >>> Remember our new shop hours Monday to Friday 6:00 AM to 8 PM. Saturday and Sunday 5:30 AM to 9 PM.

Slammer blues just a 15 min boat ride from our dock! Yes bluefish in the 10 plus lb. range have been crashing poppers and metals off the 23rd street pier area in Seaside Park for the past few days. Just a short ride on one of our rental boats will put you into the action! The surf has been producing blues and some bass from Lavallette beach to IBSP. These fish are taking poppers, metals and a variety of cut bait and clams... John Yac P.S. >>> Remember tomorrow is the Annual Governor's Cup surf tournament in IBSP. The shop will be open at 4 AM for all you fishing needs including LIVE EELS!! The new shop hours starting Monday 16th. >>> Monday thru Friday 6:00 AM to 8 PM. Saturday and Sunday 5:30 AM to 9:00 PM

The scale at the shop was busy yesterday! The highlights were John Padone trolling bunker spoons out front with his son Matt and landing 3 nice bass in the mid 30's. Rocky Cierro in his boat behind IBSP, casting poppers took 5 slammer blues in the mid teens! The fishing both out front and in the bay yesterday was quite productive! If these fish stick around and no reason they won't, the Governor's Cup Tournament Sunday May 15th in IBSP should be a huge success!.. John Yac
