Fishing Report

By The Dock Outfitters | October 25, 2014

Sharpen your hooks, things could be about to pop! There were a couple of nice bass taken in IBSP yesterday on clams and one topped the scales at 27 plus pounds, now that’s what I’m talking about. Clams are not the only way to temp these bass to take the hook. Swimming plugs and metal will also work…

Nice weekend ahead, with some good weather and winds in the forecast, maybe some fish??? This fall run is sure testing everyone’s patience and mother nature isn’t helping much either, but patience and perseverance will pay off, you’ll see. Nice fresh clams, live eels and sand worms will be ready to go for some possible weekend action… John…

Rain is one thing but lightning is a No No! Rain gear will keep you dry for the most part but nothing protects you from mother nature but common sense. Keep your rods in the buggy and stay off the beaches till all sigs of lightning is gone. There has been cases where anglers sitting in their…

Not much new on the fishing front to report. Still some small blues here and there but no run of bass to speak of, but that could change any day. It’s a matter of staying vigilant so you will be there when the run starts. The few short to keeper size bass that are being taken are at first light and…

Nice stretch of weather forecasted for the next two days. Ocean temps are down a bit and we still have bait in close, small blues are still around with reports of short to keeper size bass increasing daily. A couple of nice bass were taken yesterday trolling MAJA bunker spoons off the IBSP bathing beaches. Mullet…

The clock is ticking! Half of October gone and still no Striped bass to speak of. It’s starting to look like one of those late in the year striped bass runs where you just have enough time to choke down your Thanksgiving day meal before you head back to the beach because the big boys are on the…

Rain gear this morning but you might be able to peel things of by afternoon. While we still wait on the southward bass migration we still have plenty of small blues around to take up our time. Mullet remains the bait of choice for these little guys while poppers, small swimmers and thin metals will…

Summer? Fall? you pick, and if your confused, so are the fish. Striped bass in our area sensing that the water temps are still too warm to start them on their fall run and feeding frenzie, remain in a holding pattern regardless of the calendar date. Thank God for the small blues keeping the anglers busy…

I think the temperatures are going in the wrong direction for this time of year. Blues are still around like it’s late summer, mullet, rainfish, and bunker are all present, but the bass are just not on the feed, at least off the surf in our area that is. Some short to keeper size bass are…
