Fishing Report for 9/11/24

Starting in the bay, there honestly seems to be fish just about anywhere you can imagine. Spot and croaker are still flooding the bays and pushing way up the rivers all the way to Tuckahoe and Mays Landing. They aren't too picky, eating just about anything in front of their face. Tog and sheepshead are heavy around the bridges and piers on green crab and sand fleas, they have been moving fast from piling to piling so don't stay in one spot too long. Striper have been hitting around the bridges and piers at night, eels and soft plastic have been the ticket. Fluke are still in the bay but has been hard with the super aggressive croaker. Have been recieving multiple reports that corson's inlet of fluke making a very heavy appearance again with some monstrous fish, gulp on jig heads or bucktails have been best. Got multiple reports of fish 24 inches and up down there. Also been hearing some decent bluefish pushing into the inlet late evenings on plastics and metals.

Surf side has been pretty hot when fishable. Spot, croaker and kings are still flooding the surf being caught on bloods and fishbites. Brown sharks and sand tigers have been heavy in the surf as well (much closer then people think) especially using spot, croaker or kings for bait. Hearing some schoolies and fluke still holding along the jetties on soft plastics and gulp.

Tuna have been so hot and cold this year. Received reports of Big bluefin at sea isle ridge over the past two weeks on the troll. Yellow fin have started pushing inshore, hotdog was hot over the weekend and they will be pushing farther inshore. Mahi have seemingly been everywhere as long as there is some sort of floating structure. Fluke have been deep offshore anywhere from 80-100 feet plus especially on gulp.

Thanks to our employee Nick V. for sending in this pic of the fluke he was hammering in the inlet yesterday!
