Fishing Report

By The Dock Outfitters | June 29, 2016

Small blues seem to be the only game in town for our area surf anglers. First light and dusk seem to be the prime time. Cut mullet and bunker on the bait side while small metals and poppers will cover most situations on the artificial side. Crabbing remains steady from our dock and rental boats.…

Rain gear day! Much needed rain in the forecast today. Small blues and a few fluke in the surf right now if you happen to be in the right place at the right time. Mullet and cut bunker are working on the blues, while gulp or squid tipped on a buck tail jig is accounting…

Summer is finally here along with the weekend crowds. Weekdays are a lot better so far with less fisherman and sun bathers to contend with. The bass bite in the surf remains a pick and fluke fishing is starting to pick up. Crabbing remains very good from our dock and crabbing boats… John Yac

The surf bite remains quiet. A slow pick of smaller blue fish and a occasional short to keeper size bass rounds off the surf bite at present. Fluking remains a inlet area bite for now but these fish should be in the surf soon. Crabbing in the bay is excellent for this early in the…

Fishing seems to be in a holding pattern. Small to medium size blues with short to keeper size bass being picked by surf anglers. The boats and kayaks are still enjoying catching some nice size bass that are chasing bunker schools. Crabbing remains steady from our dock. Fluking remains a pick around and inside Manasquan and…

Boats and Kayaks have fun, surf guys not so much! Find the schools of bunker find the fish. That’s the game being played right now by boaters and kayakers alike. The surf guy on the other hand must have the bait within casting range to score. Cut bunker and mullet along with fresh clams are…

Boats are still doing good on the spring run bass. Trolling large bunker spoons and using the snag and drop method is putting boat anglers into 40 plus lb. fish. In contrast the surf angler right now has fewer and smaller blues with a occasional keeper bass in the mix for his targets. Crabbing remains good…

The hot bite award yesterday has to go to the blue claw crab! Catches of 2 to 3 dozen plus nice keepers was the norm for those venturing out on our dock. If crab sauce or steamed crabs or both are on your mind come on down. Fishing brought a mixed bag of fish yesterday with…

Fishing Report

By The Dock Outfitters | June 7, 2016

A lot of bait in the wash but not many fish! Anglers are finding schools of bunker moving in and out of casting range from Seaside Park thru IBSP but very few fish are in pursuit. The hot spot still seems to be the very southern end of IBSP where they are picking blues and keeper…
