The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

Surf conditions good, just a bit cloudy but very fishable never the less. With just 5 days left in the fluke season, IBSP in the area of the inlet is the place to be. Remember the 2 fish at 16" is still in effect in the park only and only taken from the beach. This time of the year brings visitors up from the south to our beaches, I'm talking redfish! They will hit just about anything but they are hard pressed to pass up a piece of cut mullet fished on a "Hi-Lo" rig. These reds have been taken up to 20 lbs. in the past few seasons...

The back bay continues to give up some nice size blues both on bait and lures. Not much to report on from out front, for the surf has been unfishable for the past couple of days due to the strong easterly winds we have been experiencing. The winds should finely lay down and start to change direction by late today. Crabbing out back has been slow and our rental boats aren't doing much better. Reports of better crabbing are coming in from north of the 37 bridge... John Yac

The back bay remains the spot generating all the fishing reports in our area. Bluefish from 7 to 10 lbs. are being taken on poppers and cut baits from our dock out back to the flats behind IBSP. Keeper fluke in the 18 to 20 inch range, although very few, are also being caught from our dock. Crabbing is slow but snapper blues are plentiful. The inlet in IBSP has been producing trigger fish and keeper blackfish. Remember we have sand worms and green crabs in stock... John Yac END OF SEASON SALE! >>> Killies are $8.00 per pint and $15.50 per quart from today till the end of the fluke season Sept. 5th.

Just a quick update on todays action at the Dock. Crabbing remains a slow pick with snapper blues everywhere, but slammer blues continue to make their unusual presence known. Fred Bartholomew weighed in a 9 plus pounder taken on cut bunker off our dock about an hour ago... John Yac FYI >>> Looking for nice green crabs? We got a delivery yesterday and we will continue to carry killies till the end of fluke season.

Wow what weather! The next few days should be outstanding! Favorable winds and mid day high tides spells great fluking possibilities. Buck tails tipped with gulp or squid strips and live lining a freshly caught snapper will put the odds in your favor for scoring some great table fare. With the close of the fluke season being just around the corner (Sept. 5th) you shouldn't pass up days like this one. Crabbing is slow, snappers are all over and just to keep everyone on their toes, Bob Scofield of Piscataway landed a 8.6 lb. blue a couple hours ago on cut bunker... John Yac
