LBI Fishing Report 5/7/25

Here’s a quick fishing report morning updated for Wednesday May 7, 2025.

The past two days brought some quality fishing to the waters of LBI with striped bass responding well to bait and lures. I’ve taken full advantage with a couple productive after work trips. Over the past two days, I managed to land a handful of nice bass fishing lures. The water is still cold but creeping up and we’ve had a solid uptick in local action. It’s not full-blown spring mayhem here yet, BUT things are trending in the right direction. There are quality striped bass here right NOW… unders, slots and 15-20-30-40+# class stripers.

Go Fish!!!

1:30PM Live Report Sent In- Jamie Gramley got a pair of striped bass on Tuesday. He reported, “Your clams caught a 23″ and a 30″ bass on the surf.” He’s on the beach today and shared, “Good day today so far! Got two striped bass and also one drum. I also lost something big on a bunker chunk.”
