Stripers in the 40-inch range chase bunker out front, sea bass fishing holds steady and yellowfin tuna are caught on chunk baits and butterfish in the canyons.
Sea bass fishing is excellent around the wrecks out front, stripers and weakfish chase mullet and peanuts in the marshes, and tautog fishing is good around the inlet rocks.
Tautog fishing improves in the backwaters as fluke season closes, and anglers gear up for the sea bass opener while gusty conditions and high seas keep boats docked.
The back bays host blowfish, weakfish, cocktail blues and schoolie stripers, sheepshead fishing is good around the bridges, and fluke activity takes a dive around the wrecks and reef sites.
