Some of our tight lipped regulars have been picking some nice fluke from the surf at IBSP, these fish are not hitting the scales at the local shops but they are being taken. Gulp rigged all different ways and the tried and true live killie/squid combo are the baits of choice. The brown shark bite at night in…

Put away your rain gear for the next few days at least, sunshine is back and the beaches will be humming once again. Small to keeper size fluke with assorted size blues are daytime targets while brown sharks and rays fill the night time activity. Crabbing is a bit off since the full moon and snappers are still…

Thunder showers forecasted for today and tomorrow will definitely thin out the summer bathers and fair weather fisherman. Pay close attention to any lighting in the area while fishing the beach these next two days.

If we can only bottle this weather for use later on in the season, I guess that’s a little to much to ask. So while it’s here why not take full advantage and grab your gear and head to the beach. Small blues and small to keeper size fluke are still putting bends in anglers rods.…

Crabbing is somewhat down this week from that feverish pace of the last couple of weeks. Both rental boats and dock crabbers are still getting their fair share but not the numbers that we have been seeing. Fluking in the bay is still a matter of weeding through all those shorts to come up with a…
