The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

On my way to work this morning i was receiving text messages about bunker popping around in Ortley outside the bar. We should be getting in green crabs and more fresh bunker today. There is no wind at all right now and its beautiful outside. Scott

Fluke and cow nose rays are dominating the surf bite right now. Night time sharking is a bit slow. Crabbing in the bay is still very good, with nice catches being made by boat and shore bound crabber alike. Snapper blues are in... John Yac

The surf action is definitely in summer mode now. Fluke remains the most abundant fish available to the surfcaster with the occasional short bass and small bluefish now and then. The night time tides have been producing some outstanding shark fishing if you happen to find yourself in the right spot at the right time. Large cow nose rays are also in the mix on both daytime and nighttime bites. The bay remains loaded with nice size crabs both off our dock and rental boats. One lucky crabber caught a 7" beauty yesterday, now that's a keeper! Snapper blues are increasing both in numbers and in size out back. Remember we have LIVE KILLIES in stock!... John Yac

Looks like sand eel time may be starting early this season. We are getting some reports of sand eels in the wash along our beaches. This could be the reason the fluke have moved in close to the beach. Small bass have also been in this mix. It just may be thin metal/teaser time, it's definitely worth a try. Snapper blues are stating to show out back... John Yac

Just had one of our regulars Louie Burrito come back in to restock on bunker. He was fishing Ortley beach for the last 2 hours and landed a 7lb blue and a 30inch bass. The tide is still coming in and the wind is perfect. Scott
