LBI Fishing Report Update 10/4/24

Beautiful morning in the neighborhood with light to no winds. Yesterday was a good one too. There’s bluefish on the surf chasing mullet and the mullet run is still under way. The tog fishing is active for land based anglers fishing Barnegat Inlet. With sea bass open they are also on tap for ocean fishing boat anglers. Be ready for the striped bass “run” which may pop off at anytime now. There bass to be caught fishign the eaters of LBI and the action should only get better as the waters cool. It’s usually best Halloween to Thanksgiving timeframe. I’m looking forward to this weekend as the 70th Annual LBI Surf Fishing Classic kicks off Saturday October 5, 2024. Also tomorrow Oct 5th, I’m presenting with bayside Dave a FREE surf fishing seminar at the Ship Bottom Fire House from 9-11am. See you there!
