The bluefish are of course right on top of them too. Up the river there are nice size snappers. We have a couple of 10 lb blues under the bridge. If you want some fun, read my reports from last Oct. It should be more of the same starting now! KKAT reported: Exceptional striped bass fishing for the John Litowinsky party from Wall Township today. The guys caught over 50 bass on clams, including 13 keepers. A half dozen weakfish and a couple of croakers were added to the catch on worms in the bay.

Capt Rich reported: Monster bluefish were landed Sunday by the Jeff and Linda Seip charter. The ocean was a little nasty at 17 Fathoms with a large east swell still coming in and wind about 15 mph out of the north, but the blues were there. They ran from a low of 4 lbs. to a high of 15 lbs with most being Slammers!  The water tempature was still 70.6 degrees out there and in the bay. They were happy bringing all those fillets back to PA. We did not see any false albies or bonito even though we were chumming for them. Monday had the Ray and George Rogers charter aboard for great weakfish action. A near limit was landed in the bay with multiple fish measuring 25". Fluke, bluefish and croakers were also landed. The bay was jam packed with peanut bunker. There were large schools everywhere. We tried a few drifts in the rip before going weakfishing for stripers with the out going tide but had no luck. We did see a few landed, but the water is still too warm for consistant action. It should break wide open in October!!
