The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

Bluefish and striped bass are being taken along our beaches at the present time. Clams and cut bunker are the baits of choice. On the artificial front, swimmers and poppers are both drawing attention and lets not forget the old reliable buck tail when all else fails. The back bay is still producing some nice slammer blue fish mostly on cut bait. .

The only thing that has changed in this fall run of a lifetime is the fish are getting a bit smaller. The numbers remain good but more shorts are mixed in the bite. It seems just about anything you throw gets attention from these feeding fish. All in all it remains a mind blowing run and I have a feeling we will have fish through Christmas!

Bass fishing both on and off shore remains in high gear! Schools of peanut bunker are the main target for these hungry migrating fall bass. Just find a school of peanut bunker and more than likely the bass will be pinning them to the beach bringing the action, literally at your feet. The bass are keeper size plus and casting medium size paddle tails will match the hatch nicely. If you never hooked into one of these good size bass, now is the time to experience it and you just may become hooked for life!

The surf bite maybe a little slow right now but there are schools of bait still moving up and down the beach within casting range. There is a body of fish to our north the will be sliding down the coast on their fall/ winter migration path hopefully sooner than later and should heat up the bite. Tautog (Blackfish) season is now open with 5 fish at 15" till Dec. 31. Local rock piles around inlets make prime targets to hit. Green crabs cut in half fished in close to the structure will produce. Black fish fillets or served whole make an excellent dinner treat.

The fall run of big bass is hot and heavy right now for a few boat and surf angler in the know! These fish are in their usual locations taking advantage of whatever bait is at hand. I know two things for sure, the number one bait is bunker in the surf and live eels by boat. Number two is these fish are being taken throughout the day as long as the wind tide and current is right for each location.
