The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

The largest bass being cought during this spring run are still coming from the boats. Trolling large bunker spoons or using the snag and drop method, case in point, Al Siegel weighed in a 35 lb and a 25 lb bass taken from a kayak. Blues from 4 lbs to 14 lbs are still being taken from the beaches with keeper size bass mixed in. Fresh bunker and clams on the bait side of things, metal, poppers and swimmers on the artificial side.... John Yac

Welcome to fluke season! Remember the new limit is 5 fish at 18" and the new 2 fish at 16" for IBSP has not yet started. Yesterday there were some nice bass caught just off the beach, snag and drop was the way to go. James Blandino weighed in a 31 lb bass that he caught from his kayak using the snag and drop method. The blue fish are still tearing up the beaches taking anything in their way, cut bunker is their first choice but metals, poppers and swimmers will also work. Our crab boats, jet skis, and pontoon boats are in the water and ready to go!... John Yac

Large blue fish have dominated the surf bite in the past couple of days. They are being caught on fresh cut bunker and metal which ever suits your fancy. The fish seem to be stretched out from Lavallette to Island Beach State Park. The boat and kayak fisherman are getting a extra bonus, along with the large blues, bass up 48 lbs have been landed on the snag and drop method and also on the troll with large spoons and stretches. The bay out back has been giving up some small to mid size blue fish on cut bunker and small metals. Crabbing has been slow with only a few keepers here and there mostly in the overnight traps....

The spring run is keeping anglers busy with blues of all sizes taking cut bunker, metals and poppers. Striped bass are still in the mix with some nice keepers being landed in the surf, but the lions share of cows are being taken by boat using the snag and drop method. Fluke season will open the 23rd of this month so make sure your ready with pleanty of gulp and bucktails of all sizes. We have the largest selection of spro bucktails in every color and weight along with the best prices on the island. If your not a gulp fan then a nice squid strip tipping your jigs will do just fine.... John Yac

Blue fish are down in size a bit but not in numbers on our beaches. Striped bass are still being taken but no way near the numbers the blues are. Fresh cut baits and clams are always a sure way to go if your are looking to put some tasty treats on the table. Metal will always work when bluefish are present while poppers, especially pencils will draw the bigger fish... John Yac
