“It’s getting to be re-goddamn-diculous” was quoted by John Wayne, but I don’t think he was talking about the recent south winds, even though most South Jersey anglers feel that way. Fluke fishing has been very tough in most of the bays with dirtier water, but anglers working the incoming tides are finding the right mix of temperature and clarity. It’s not all negative as the ocean side is showing some definite positive signs of life with fluke beginning to bite at the reef sites. The wrecks are still loaded with keeper sea bass and ling, and most shops said to bring clams with you if you’re targeting ocean fluke. Bluefin have been biting as close as 5 miles out around mid-island LBI and as far out as the Resor. Madd Mantis poppers have been the ticket according to most local tackle shops. The surf was very good this past week for kingfish, croakers and even some nice spot. Thankfully, it looks like we will be getting some better winds in the forecast, so that should only help the bite in shallow.

Southern New Jersey Fishing Report- July 18, 2024

The Eastern Long Island Fishing Report is compiled and written by writer/blogger and fly-fishing industry professional, Jack Larizadeh (@jack.lariz). Bill at Chasing Tails Bait and Tackle in Oakdale reports: “Another solid week in the books for fluke season. The bay is loaded with flatties and some impressive fish have come up over the rails. Bouncing jigs on light tackle has proved to be the most effective. Colorful soft plastics hanging add a little extra enticing movement to the jig. Fish light, because some of the bites are very subtle. Sea bass fishing on the outside reefs and wrecks has been insanely good. Drop down a slow-pitch jig, bucktail, or regular ol’ rig. The bite is hot! Summer striped bass fishing action is starting to pop up here and there if you know where to look. They’ll be keyed in on specific baits, so match the hatch and you’re in! Snappers and blue claw crabs are showing up at the local docks and providing lots of summer fun for the whole family. The tuna bite is insane. Jigging, popping, trolling, it’s all working. Tons of solid yellows and mondo blues are out lurking and making for some incredible days on the ocean.”
