Well, I guess Mother Nature thought it was too hot so she turned on her air conditioner today! It’s a much cooler, mostly cloudy morning here in Beach Haven today! But the sun should come out, and the wind die down a bit as the day gets on. The wind right now is coming from the ENE at about 14mph. Currently the surf is moderate with 2-3 foot waves. You will need about 4-5oz to hold. Beach Haven water temp is about 63°. The air temp is currently 62° and heading to 66°.
The bay is calm and 63.3°.
Low tide is at 8:11AM and 8:48PM. High tide is at 1:41AM and 2:25PM.
No Spring Derby weigh-ins yesterday but I did get a few more pictures of big striped bass. Mike caught this 40″ striper using clams and Danny Federico (of LBI Surf Fishing Services) caught this 33″ on clams just before dead low. So goes to show, you can fish anytime and still catch some decent fish. On the fluke front, we have not had a weigh-in yet for our Jingles Fluke tournament yet. But besides hearing there are fluke in Great Bay, I am hearing that there are fluke right out behind Beach Haven too.
The Spring Derby ends in 2 weeks. Register is still open at one of the three tackle shops – Jingles, Fisherman’s HQ, and Surf City Bait & Tackle or available ONLINE at www.lbisfc.com. The tournament is 100% payout for striped bass and bluefish weigh-ins. You still have a chance to be in the $$$!
