Strong rip currents continue today so stay alert while fishing the surf. As far as fishing goes more of the same, small blues and fluke on both sides of IBSP. Cut baits and small metals for the blues while live killie and squid combos also buck tail jigs tipped with gup will take the fluke. We have…

Enjoy the next few days before the weekend crowds arrive for the traditional end of season bash. Cocktail blues are in and out of the surf during the day, with sharks and rays at night. This tipical summer pattern should have only a few weeks left till the mullet run starts. Larger blues and striped bass will…

Really not much new to report on the surf fishing front. You know the drill. Small blues and fluke by day mostly on cut baits and sharks and rays at night all on bait. Crabbing and fishing in the bay also remains the same, you have to weed through a bunch of shorts to put together a decent crab catch.…

A bit of a wet day, not a lot but just enough to keep the crows down and the swimmers out of your favorite spots. Cocktail blues have taken a good hold in the surf with mullet and small metals being the baits of choice. Fluke are still present but finding keepers is another matter. The…

Cocktail blues at the south end of IBSP the past few days are taking all kinds of cut baits but mullet seems to be their number one choice.

When blue fish are taking mullet in the surf (Florida frozen that is) although cocktail size and the evenings are getting cooler how far away can the start of fall be? The boat anglers just north of us out of Belmar are really pounding the fluke but for us in this area it’s not so much. The areas…

Great weather but not so great fishing. The surf is kinda slow with the usual fluke and blue fish being the main daytime targets. Brown sharks and the annoying occasional ray at night. Crabbing has still not bounced back from the effect of the full moon, but snappers are still keeping anglers busy from the dock… John…

With todays showery forecast you will definitely find more room to fish for a Sunday that is. Yes fluke and blues remain the number one target by day while the brown shark bite continues by night. The fall run is around the corner so don’t let it take you by surprise. Now is a great time to…
