More reports of bass and quite a few reports of blues! Walter Plewa weighed-in a bluefish yesterday that puts him in first place for the Spring Derby and the store tournament: 12.86# and 35.75″ – caught using mullet! Also received a picture of Jake’s father-in-law (they didn’t send his name!) with this 31″ keeper bass. More reports of anglers pulling in some keeper fluke off the surf while fishing for striper. Fluke, weakfish and some small blues are in the bay and at Little Egg Reef, you can still pick up some sea bass.
