The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

Fishing Report

New fluke regulations for Island Beach State Park. Your are now allowed to take (2) fish at 16" (no boats or kayaks) allowed and the fish must be tagged at check station located about 1 mile or so south of the gate to make them legal to possess. Blue fish, striped bass and fluke are still keeping anglers busy. The back bay still has plenty of small to medium blues and crab catches are on the rise.... John Yac

Bass and Blues in mixed sizes are still finding their way to the cleaning table out back. The surf bite continues with some keeper size fluke mixed in. Still pretty much a bait thing with cut bunker and clams the number 1 and 2 baits followed close behind by mullet squid and worms. Yes poppers, swimmers and metals due work at times, but when the fish are moving in and out the baits seem to draw them in. The back bay is still producing small to medium size blues caught on cut baits from shore or trolled and baited from our rental boats. The areas that are producing are the mouth of Tom's River, the RT 37 bridge area and behind IBS. The crabbing is picking up daily from our dock... John Yac

It pays to be persistent! Just because the wind is blowing, its foggy, and you need 8+ ozs of lead to hold bottom doesen't mean you should stay at home if you are interested in landing a spring run striped bass. Case in point, yesterday Joe Pereira fishing cut bunker in IBSP and was using between 8 to 10 ounces just to keep that chunk somewhat in front of him was rewarded for his effort with a nice 24.70 lb bass! Blue fish are still coming in and out chasing bait and short to keeper size fluke are also present in the cuts and drop offs. Crabbing on our dock remains steady no blitz yet but a nice steady pick. Blue fish are being caught by the few rental boats seeking them out... John Yac

Still kinda quit. Fisherman are still picking away at blues and the occasional bass while short to keeper size fluke are still showing up. The crabbing on the dock is finaly picking up with some nice catches of 2 to 3 dozen keepers going to those crabbers giving it a serious try. Small to med size blues are being taken around the RT 37 bridge and also behind Island Beach State Park.... John Yac

Fishing Report

Not much to talk about due to yesterdays weather. Still bunker off shore, so find the bait and you will find fish! The blue fish still make up the majority of the bite on the beach samll to medium size blues are taking cut bunker and mullet fished in the cuts. Bass are still coming up on clams and fluke continue in the mix. The back bay has small blues and our dock produced 2 dozen keeper crabs to a couple willing to brave the weather.... John Yac
