Check back here often to see what's biting!
May 24
Although the Pier is now open 24 hours, the weather has certainly not been very cooperative. High winds and rain continued and combined with the inlet dredging has kept the water very dirty. So the fishing has not been great ... YET ! But, as the water clears and warms, the blitz has to be around the corner. Some more bluefish are being caught, a few flounder are in the mix and some tautog continue biting despite the season being closed. And, of course, horseshoe crabs and skates abound.
May 8
High winds limited the fishing this past week. However, there were some tautog caught, including a few keepers ... and just in time before the tautog season closed on May 15. There were a couple of large bluefish caught, and a few that got away, but we are expecting a bluefish blitz any day now. Just a couple of nice flounder caught and less hickory shad than last week because of the dirty water.
April 26
The spring bite continues to pick up. Some keeper tautog and keeper flounder in the mix this past week. The hickory shad run has started, sometimes catching two at a time. And, of course the skates continue to keep anglers busy.
April 10
Some good things happening after just the first week. A couple of tautog; a couple of dogfish; a couple of flounder (including a nice keeper); and LOTS of skates!
