Yesterday afternoon saw an increase in the bass bite in our area. Nice keeper bass were taking well placed bunker chunks in the surf. Still large schools of both full size and peanut size bunker present up and down the coast. Looks like the fall run still has plenty of steam left. SP minnows and thin metals are…

A extra layer or two will be in order today! This is our first real taste of things to come. But despite the chill, there is still some quality fish roaming our surf line. Clams and cut bunker is still the bait way to go. While the artificial selections have moved to the slimmer baits, Ava and needle…

SAND EELS?? Sure starting to look that way. Some nice fish were taken on Ava and needle fish style baits the past two days. This usually signals sand eels are present. Birds diving on schools of bait with no visual water disturbance is another sign. If all this is true the bass bite should extend into…

East winds today will produce plenty of wave and white water conditions. The bait fishing surfcaster will find holding bottom a bit challenging and the plug caster will have to move to heavier lures that will cut into the wind. While the feeding bass and bluefish will be enjoying the turbulent conditions, finding ambushing their prey much easier.…

Better weather will bring more weigh-ins today for sure! There is still plenty of bait in our area with a good amount of bass and blues hot on their heels. It has been a toss up between cut bunker and clams for the number one bait for big fish from the surf. SP Minnows remain the number one swimming plug…

With the wet weather forecasted for tomorrow todays bite could be another good one! One more thing you might want…

To say the bass fishing this fall has been fantastic, is putting it mildly. The passed couple of days proved to be banner days for boat and beach fisherman alike. Weigh-ins from teen fish to 30 lbs. plus kept anglers busy. Bait, plugs, and metals all seem to be working. Add to that trolling large bunker spoons and Mann’s…
