LBI Fishing Report 5/21/25

The weather is cool but the fishing is hot! Now’s a great time to get out and fish for striped bass, bluefish, fluke, black drum, weakfish and more. Memorial Day Weekend is near and the fish are here. Get out on the beach or boat and enjoy! Here’s my short report update from yesterday. For more details on recent catches take a look back at other recent report posts and be sure to follow us in Instagram!

“The beach is lit up with this approaching front! I caught 4 bass to 42″ in the last 45 minutes and a big blue too.” Report sent in from Joe Handley Jr last night. A photo he sent in is below.
