The bite is on! Not epic blitz fishing but the Long Beach Island surf is producing striped bass and some black drum. We have also heard a couple bluefish reports off of the surf, with many more in the bay. Also the fluke season is off to a great start with many strong reports from beach and boat anglers. Reports have come in from the north end, mid-Island and south end. There’s really not one hot spot. Gear up and fish a cut… It’s go time!
