Beautiful day on LBI with sun skies, a breezy west wind and 2-3′ swell on the beach. ON the fishing front LBI has striped bass, bluefish and fluke with a few other species rounding out the menu. Anglers are catching on the surf as well as the inlet and bay. Right now is a great time to take advantage of the variety on tap. It’s safe to say if you are looking for classy striped bass, don’t wait! The area has had a really strong run all spring. Things will fade as the waters warm and summer kicks in. With the warmer water we look forward to fire fluke fishing, sheepshead, trigger, blowfish as well as the offshore big fame scene. So far the offshore game is off to a great start!
