Crabbing out on the rental boats continues to be great. 4-5 dozen are common catches now. There are plenty of snappers to be caught off the dock on spearing or tiny metals. Fluke fishing is great in the manasquan river and inside both inlets. The bottom is paved with flatties. It seems the shark fishing off the beach has slowed a little bit with the water temps dropping but it should heat up again very soon. Tuna fishing in and around the hudson canyon is still on fire with yellowfin white marlin and blue marlin being caught regularly. There are also small bluefin tuna around the chicken canyon area.

Crabbing continues to be great out on the rental boats. 3/4 of a bushel are common. There are plenty of snappers being caught off the dock on spearing to keep the kids busy. Fluke fishing continues to be doing really well. The north jetty Manasquan and Barnaget inlets the Casino fishing pier and back bay areas are great close spots to try. We have all the fluke baits in stock including live killies spearing three different kinds of squid sand eels and plenty of gulp. Fish guts charters continues to hammer the sea bass and blackfish now as well. The yellowfin and white marlin bite continues to be great out at the hudson canyon. The technique out there seems to be trolling spreader bars and rigged ballyhoo but i also heard the chunking bite was hot 2 days ago there. Scott

Crabbing on the rental boats has been on fire!! Everyone is getting loads of crabs and they are mostly all monsters! The rental boats are only $90 for the day and $65 for 4 hours. Fluking inside both inlets is still doing great. I got to get out this morning and fished inside of manasquan and had 29 fish in 3 hours with 3 keepers. All the fish were taken on Gulp!! Plenty of brown sharks are being caught on the sand mostly all taken on fresh bunker chunks. As a reminder blackfish season reopened but the limit is only 1 fish. Scott

Well the fluke fishing in the manasquan inlet was great today. There were tons of shorts caught and a few keepers as well. The baits of choice were gulp! and killies. The northeast wind is blowing nice out here and the ocean is churned up nice. There is alot of grass in the water though. As the news man states there are sharks out there now. It is the Atlantic ocean after all and it is summer. You can tell they arent here much lol. Scott

Bob Cortese — Sat, 10 Jul 2010 01:07:56 +0000

Well the fishing for the big bass has pretty much come to a conclusion but there are still plenty of smaller fish out there. The majority of the bass that are still being caught are taking soft shell calicos raked by anglers. The last few evenings there has also been some blitzes in the pocket and around the jetty with schoolie fish chasing rain fish and spearing. There are plenty of nice size brown sharks out there now to give you a good fight and put a nice bend in the rod for a while. Most of the sharks are being taken on fresh bunker or whole squid. There are plenty of fluke on the surf and and in the inlets also. The bulk of the fish are taking bucktails with gulp!. The casino fishing pier also continues to produce loads of fluke as well.
