The bite is on as I am receiving more reports for striped bass and bluefish in the surf. On Wednesday Rob Zarko got this 33″ bluefish and earlier in the week Kyle caught two striped bass – one too big at 35″ and then a nice keeper at just over 30″. Jonathan had this beauty striped bass and Danny Federico of LBI Surf Fishing Guide Services caught this 36″ yesterday amongst a couple other bites. But keepers are out there too! We are scheduled to received surf clams today and that or salted are the bait of choice of the bass right now. Fluke season is now open and Paul Midura caught this beauty at 23.5″ on opening day.
