The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

The past few days have been slow due to a angry surf caused by an off shore storm. The bait fish were well out of the surfcaster's reach and the surf conditions were a bear to fish. Yet through all that a few nice keeper bass were taken on clams fished right in the wash in the seaside... Johnny Yaks      

We received a couple of large pallets of merchandise we purchased from the Atlantic City Fishing show so stop by and check out some of our new items.... The ocean water should have cleaned up by this morning and look for the fishing to improve along with it.. We had a lot of customers through the shop yesterday and I got quite a few reports of bass being caught on clams, mostly shorts with a few keepers sized fish mixed in. Also heard of a couple bass caught on avas and needlefish so we say safely say the sandeels have made their way in to our area... Peanut bunker are still abundant  in the back bays and barring a big storm we should see them start to trickle out front within the next 1-2 weeks...

Yesterday was on the slow side as far as reports go. Today's conditions are much more favorable for surf fishing so grab some fresh mullet and clams along with some artificial lures such as small metals,swimming plugs and poppers and hit the beach. The same selection of fish are there for the taking, small blues chasing rain fish and spearing and the ever increasing keeper bass are taking clams and swimming plugs. We have live eels and green crabs along with our selection of fresh and frozen bait. John Yac

Small bass being picked dawn and dusk while small blues on rain fish and spearing during daylight hours is whats happening right now. The ocean water temperatures continue to drop with the cooler evenings. We still have some great fall fishing rod and reel combos left so come on in and check them out.
