The Latest and Most Relevant Fishing Updates You Should Know

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

Weather only getting better from here on this week! Improving air temperatures and humidity levels coupled with more favorable wind directions spells good surf fishing conditions. Snappers of all sizes are running our shore lines. Aside from some light tackle fun, live lining these great baits just may land you a nice large fluke from the surf. Your chances increase the closer you get to the inlet in IBSP, which is a great food conveyer for hungry fish just outside the inlet. Remember this fluke fishery comes to a hault September 5th this year. Crabbing remains slow out back, with still plenty of snappers around... John Yac
