Still many reports of striped bass, bluefish and black drum in the surf! Anglers are also picking up a few keeper fluke in the surf as well. The Spring Derby has had a couple big blues just weighed in – one with bunker and one with mullet. And now is the time to get those black drum – we weighed in a couple this week and Brendan Osler got a big one off his boat yesterday. The time is right to be fishing on the beach! Anglers also picking out some nice fluke in the back bay.
