Once again it seems that all the fish are down on ibsp. Metals and most importantly teasers are whats getting it done. We are going to be starting our Christmas sale very soon and we will have details listed here on the fishing report so make sure you check in daily to see what the great deals are going to be. Scott

There was some good fishing down on IBSP again yesterday. Avas and teasers got it done as usual. Its a foggy monday morning so the beaches shouldnt be crowded this morning so get on down there. Scott

Conditions should be absolutely perfect this morning. The wind is out of the northeast and the tide is dropping. There was plenty of fish caught yesterday up to 28lbs. Most of the action was on ibsp on teasers and metals. Scott

Beautiful conditions out there right now and the fish keep coming in the door. Just weighed in another beauty of 27.55lbs taken by Gary Pialifio on ibsp. The fish have been on the southern half of the island all morning and are still there so get fishing!! Scott

As of right now guys are still catching bass down on ibsp. Avas and teasers are whats getting it done. We also had a 27lber weighed in earlier on clams. We also received a shipment of the shimano stradics this afternoon. Scott

Hit IBSP again this morning with Tom.. Wind was NNW and the water was starting to get dirty… Fished for about 3 hours, had 6-8 bass between us including a 15# fish for Tom. All fish today hit metals… The teasers were not productive probably due to poor water clarity… We had reports of fish caught sporadically throughout the park… I cruised SSH around noon and saw a few fish caught on the north end of the boardwalk too…John

Great morning fishing IBSP with Tommy. We caught 20+ bass on metal and teasers including 4 keeper sized bass… Most anglers we spoke with had similar results…John

The bass were south of gilikins this morning then the big blues rolled in. They were in the 10 lb range. Metals were getting it done. Scott

Yesterday most of the bass came from gilikins and south on island beach but we did have a few weighed in from the seaside areas. The fish seemed to be in closer then usual yesterday with bass being caught right out of the troughs gorging on sand eels. Also last night at the casino fishing pier red hake were being hammered on clams one after another. Scott
