Red Hot Fluke Fishing in Great Bay
For anglers fluking with live bait please note we will have limited stock of minnows this weekend.
Jim caught a 7.5lb doormat earlier this MDW weekend
Luckily for Jim, he was catching doormats all on Gulp! No live bait needed for those anglers. In addition to the jumbo fluke, we’ve gotten plenty reports of slot fluke in Great Bay this week.
Plenty of fluke in Great Bay for anyone seeking a day out on the boat near Tuckerton! You certainly won’t be going home with an empty cooler.
That’s for sure!
Scattered Reports of Bluefish
The bait shop has gotten a decent amount of fishing reports of blue fish scattered around Great Bay.
There hasn’t been much schooling of blue fish has been reported lately. It seems most anglers catch them here and there. For example, some blue fish were caught by accident when fishing live bait for fluke.
In other words, we’re dreaming of those blue fish blitz’s on top water too!
Striped Bass and Drumfish Continue to Linger
The excellent spring run of striped bass and drum fish continues on.
Anglers fishing off graveling point with clam have seen tremendous success on both stripers and drum fish. The grassy channels are still producing as well.
If you’re an angler targeting striped bass or drum, your best bet is to anchor up at graveling point or in the grassy channel with a chum pot and clam on a hi-lo rig.
In short, weather looks great this weekend for fishing. Call (609)-296-4406 to book your rental!
