The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

Overall no a bad Memorial Day weekend in the surf! A few really nice size bass plus double digit weight class blues were taken clams and cut bunker in the surf. The bay was invaded by schools of cocktail blues popping up all over out back of us. I wish I could tell you when the crabbing will start, but this seems to be a hard year to figure out... John Yac

Take a few minutes out of your busy holiday plans today to think about those brave men and women who gave their lives so you can enjoy your family and friend this holiday weekend! God bless those who paid the ultimate price so we may have the freedoms we enjoy in this great country of ours!... John Yac

Rain or shine, boat or surf when the fish are here the bite is on. Yesterday's beautiful sunshine brought a 39 lb. 48" bass to our scale. This beauty was trolled up on a bunker spoon by Steve Juliano and Dan Leston trolling out front. This morning in the poring rain, the Ortley surf produced a nice size bass on a clam see (The Dock Outfitters Instagram for picture). The bluefish bite out back off the dock and from boats anchored up in the nearby vicinity  continues. The blues range from cocktail size to double digit slammers, cut baits off the dock and cut baits and poppers from the boats seem to be the ticket!... John Yac

The dock out back has been hot! Blue fish, blue fish, blue fish! is the cry coming off the dock. All last night and so far today, cocktail and larger size blues are taken cut bunker fished right on the bottom. IBSP has already giving up some nice flatties from the surf, definitely a good sign!... John Yac

A little quit yesterday in the surf compared to the past several days. The good news is! -  Fluke season opens today and will run through September 22. The bag limit remains 3 fish at 18" with IBSP continuing their special fluke program, 2 fish at 16" from the beach or jetty only!! The bay bite is still good with a mix of cocktail and larger size blues, mix in some small bass behind IBSP and in the bridge areas... John Yac
