The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

There are some better bass around, fish 26 to 29 inches are being taken by hard working dedicated surf anglers under the dark of night. SP Minnows remains the plug of choice for a large majority of these surf casters and I'm sure there are always a few bait guys mixed in. Blues and albies  by day are keeping anglers busy, these fish are being taken on bait and lures alike. Reports from trollers in our area yesterday was no fish as of yet... John Yac

Small blues on cut baits is the cry coming from the surf for the past few days. Not a ton of pressure from surfcasters, but the few who did venture out were kept busy with small to mid size blues. the bulk of the fish caught were on cut bunker and mullet. A few small bass have been taken out back and around our local bridges. These fish are taking small swimming plugs readily when present. Casting a small to medium size bucktail with a rubber tail is always a good bet for luring the bigger fish to your hook... John Yac

As far as the fishing in the surf goes, its just more of the same. Small blues on cut mullet with the occasional short bass in the mix. The dock bite out back both on fish and crabs has slowed down a lot... John Yac ATTN: BAIT FISHERMAN!! We have FRESH clams in the shell, yes fresh clams in the shell while they last! >>> $7.50 Doz.<<<  

If your not fishing first and last light in the surf right now your missing out on 90% of the action! The mullet run seems to be slowing, with the size of the blues being taken right now shrinking daily. There is still small to the occasional keeper size bass both out front and back in the bay. This bite seems to be only in the magic times of the day, first and last light and into dark. We need some cooler weather and the larger bait schools that are off shore right now to move in closer to the beach. Remember it's still early in our area for the fall bass and bluefish run!...

Along with the solid small bluefish action out front add to that some small to the occasional keeper size bass being taken at first and last light. These bass are taking small swimmers and paddle tails also on the smaller side. The dock out back gave up a few short bass yesterday all on cut bunker and cut mullet... John Yac
