There’s no better way to beat the heat than fishing the waters of Long Beach Island. The bluefish and fluke action continues and there’s resident summertime stripers, some weakfish and other warm water critters (blowfish, triggers, sheepshead, sharks). Also we expect kingfish action to fire up soon on the surf. Get out and enjoy summertime fishing LBI.
