The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

While crabbing yesterday in the bay from one of our rental boats, one of our regulars caught 40 large blue claw #1 Jimmy's. during a 4 hour rental! Check out the photo of his catch on our facebook page! Cocktail blues showed up yesterday out front in IBSP along with a good amount of short fluke with a keeper here and there mixed in, pesky skates, rays and sand sharks rounded out the bite.

Not much has changed! Fluke remain the number one target in the surf and back bays and inlets. Small blues and the occasional small bass are always possible. Spot have made their appearance in the bay from local piers, snapper blues should be in soon. Crabbing is decent with better catches coming in off our boats.

Fishing for fluke remains good both in the surf and back bay. Crabbing is also good from local docks and piers and even better from boats where you have the option to hit several spots.

Fluke fishing remains consistent along our beaches! Blue fish and a few bass are also present. Remember the new striped bass regulations went in to effect July 2nd, it reads- 1 fish 28" to 31" only!! Smaller and larger fish must be released unharmed. Inline circle hooks for bait must still be used. Crabbing in the bay is improving daily.

Independence weekend (4th of July) spells crowds at the Jersey shore! Stay safe and enjoy the local festivities on the boardwalks and beaches. For the fisherman, both first light and last light will give you the beaches somewhat to yourselves. Fluke remain the number one target with blues and some small straggler bass still around. Crabbing is improving by the day at the local piers and bulkheads.
