Fishing Report

Today is definitely the day! If you were waiting for things to get some what normal in the surf, well today is the day. Early westerly winds turning to southerly later with speeds that are very fishable. There should be some nice fluke laying in the cuts and along the drop offs. Both inlets Manasquan…

Less wind today thank God! Blues attacked Manasquan Inlet yesterday and some nice ones were picked here and there along the beaches. The surf conditions were tough with the high southerly winds, but for the few that hung in there they picked away at a some nice blues. The bay continues to produce blues and now some nice fluke…

Surf conditions have improved some with the shift away from the easterly winds. Small to medium size bluefish continue to be the dominate surf bite. Fluke should be moving in with the improved surf conditions and the bass bite, the few that we do have in our area seems to be a night time thing. Bluefish in the bay…

Bluefish in the bay seems to be where all the action is right now. The poor ocean conditions due to the sustained easterly winds has turned off the bite out front for now. A shift in the winds and a couple of tide changes will no doubt put things back on track. Crabbing out back remains a…

Good day to give it a try! Overcast, easterly winds and no real rain in the forecast. Not to mention the back side of the June full moon. These conditions may just trigger a daytime bass bite! So get out there if you can and don’t just sit home waiting for the phone to ring.…

Rain gear day for sure! Still slow on the beaches with a scattering of blues and fluke for some picking. The bass bite seems to have moved to a night time thing right now. Crabbing remains slow in the bay but bluefish are still holding their own. >>> WEIGH INS WANTED <<< has a change…

The bay continues to keep anglers busy with a mix of all size bluefish. From the sedge islands to Tom’s River blues are being taken on cut baits, poppers and metals. The ocean front is slow to recover, fishing remains a slow pic with no real fluke catches to report. Crabs out back are slow getting…

Great weather but fishing, not so great. I guess we all got spoiled with the amount of fish being taken the past few weeks. But with the recent drop in water temperature the fish went off their feed. Favorable winds like today will surely bring the surf temperatures up bringing the bait within reach and hopefully the fish will be hot on their tails… John…

All quiet on the western front?? The fish seem to have come down with a case of lock jaw. My guess is the sudden drop in water temperature to the low 50’s put them off their feed. This is a temporary situation with the amount of bait still out there a more favorable water temp…

By The Dock Outfitters | May 26, 2015

The bay continues to give up quality fish, case in point the BB and BI buoy areas have been the locations of some big fluke 4.5 lb. class plus. Blues roam the mouth of Tom’s River and Cedar Creek areas. Crabbing is still very slow out back. On the ocean front. 20 lb. class plus bass…
