The weakfish and summer flounder bite slowly picked up, after the endless windy weather. It is still a hunt to find the fish. Even after the fish are located they are very selective. I have one spot that I use as an indicator for summer flounder, in this one area. Water temperature , clarity, all…

Weakfish bite , to spite poor conditions

Striped bass carry the day
Striped Bass and Oceanic Bluefish bite continues
The eddy was swing my lure directly along a known weakfish hideout.Sure enough, as my lure passed by, I got a solid strike. As my drag screamed, I am thinking, 11 LBS tide-runner. However, it turned out to be a 28″ striped bass, that was fighting like a weakie. Ed followed up with a nice…

A beautiful spring Saturday at the shore, with plenty of big fish.
Kara and her Dad Jeff took full advantage of the day. Kara is now a college student with limited time to fish. Jeff did a fabulous job of zeroing in on the fish before their trip. This allowed for an excellent catch. They caught 19 Oceanic big bluefish, from the tranquil, lake like waters of…
