The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

Believe it or not it looks like we dodged a bullet! With Joaquin on a track not to make landfall anywhere on the east coast we can have a sigh of relief. Our beaches are taken some what of a beating never the less with all these strong NE winds and higher tides but no where near the damage we would have experienced if the storm had made landfall in or near our area. The long range forecast is for sunny skies and temperatures in the 70's. While we wait for better fishing conditions this is a great time to go over our gear in anticipation of the fall run. On that note we still have a few Penn reels left at our blow out prices and just to sweeten the deal we will load the reel with the line of your choice for free! ... John Yac

No Joaquin yet! Still time to slip into your rain gear and get a few casts in. With the storm somewhat stalled off the Bahamas and forecasted not to be in our area till the end of the week. The surf fishing although challenging but not impossible is still there for those willing to give it a shot. Small blues and the occasional small bass are the fish available right now. Cut mullet, metals and swimmers will give you the best chance of hooking up... John Yac

You have a small window to get some surf fishing in before things get a bit hairy. There is plenty of mullet out there and you know where there is bait there is fish. Point Pleasant Beach area has been having a steady pick of small bass during the night tides on swimmers and live eels. Closer to home small blues and the occasional small bass are in and out of the surf. Cut mullet and metals along with swimming plugs, when casting one is possible, is the way to go. Blowfish have increased in size some and keeper crabs are still being taken... John Yac

Last day of fluke season! Easterly winds continue to hit our beaches making fishing them challenging to say the least.

One of surf fisherman's favorite times of the year is finely here. Welcome Fall! The strong easterly winds continue making surf fish more than challenging. Heavy metals and buck tails were still taking blues yesterday while trying to hold bottom was just about impossible.
