Blowfish, and snappers were caught off the dock today and our rental boats did good with the cocktail blues in the bay. Short stripers were also caught on clams in the bay.   Ryan Loughlin came in again with a nice 37 inch striper caught on Island beach on a mambo minnow.

As the fall run is just around the corner don't wait for the last minute to get your tackle in order! First consideration should be your line, remember no matter how great your rod and reel combo may be there is only one thing between you and the possible fish of your dreams so your line should be fresh and in top condition. Next your plug bag should be in order stocked with your favorite lures to match the bait that is present. Make sure your hooks are sharp and free of rust and corrosion, remember  when in doubt change them out! As far as bait goes, the freshest you can find will serve you well. So the surf is waiting with schools of mullet and some sand eels starting to show as the water cools. Blue fish of all sizes and ever increasing bass being caught on poppers and swimming plugs should get the juices flowing! John Yac
