Fishing Reports

Fall Fishing has began. The days have been fairly warm but the nights have been chilly. Bait is starting to move and  Stripers are feeding on them. The past days it has been tough for most boats to get out due to high winds but many surf fishermen have found a way to get into some fish. We have heard of some fish being taken into the 30 pound class.  Many are being caught anywhere from 28" to 31".   Anglers have been sucessful from the sand beach using sp minnows, bombers, darters, bottle plugs and needlefish as well as the inlets by using bucktails tipped with either a fat cow strip or a curly tail.  Rubber shads such as tsunami and al gags lures have also produced.

The cool nights  are helping bring down the warmer water temperatures. This has been helping stripers become more active...

"...tins, bucktails, pencil poppers, darters, minnow style plugs such as a bomber or a sp minnow a.....ll these lures do an excellent job at copying the baitfish that are in our water right now."
