Light NNW winds will make today very fishable, we still have some bait in our area just not a lot of fish in close. Still no word on the sand eel front. I haven't heard of fish being cleaned that had sand eels in their stomach. So for now clams and cut bunker are your bait choices with swimming plugs and poppers your go to artificial lures ...

We are hoping like everyone else that fresh bait will arrive some time today. In the mean while salted clams and vacuum packed bunker will have to fill the bill. It's still a night time surf bit, as far as we know, with Bomber and SP minnow type swimmers taking the few fish being caught. You may want to start throwing a few needle fish style lures to cover the possibility of sand eels being present... John Yac

Short and sweet or not so sweet at all. What ever bass there is in our area it's a "in the dark bite" for the surf guys right now. We are hoping this will change soon but without a good showing of sand eels in the wash we don't have much to hang our hat on... John Yac

The large schools of bunker seem to be thinning out and so are the fisherman. Not many guys on the beach yesterday to get a accurate report on what's happening in our area. With the warmer temps predicted for the next few days a increase in fishing activity is sure to follow. Still hearing reports of sand eels just off shore and as soon as the water temps drop into the mid to lower 50's, they should move in with the bass hot on their trail. A happier Thanksgiving no surf angler can wish for...
