South Jersey Stray Cat
« on: May 30, 2008, 05:44:53 PM »
Fluke fishing is Ok in the Great Egg bays- way back. The fish are in the channel edges on the shallow side Try up past the park way bridge and in the skinny water. If you are after a keeper try larger baits, 5 inch minimum or larger.Bait size makes all the difference. Spro-with long tails Squid and Mack- Even small eels.  Its a little frustrating but when it comes together - you get it. Off the beach there is plenty of Blue fish around the shipping lanes. Tons of sand eels and loads of seebass. Water temp. are low.57-59 haven't had any fluke in two weeks and fish hard for the last four days. But loads of see bass and ling.

No... up on the edges, and on the flats were they drop off. shallow to deep. In the 4 to 10 foot range. Low tide is better than high. Water temp is low so the fish are laying in the warmer water and thats were they eat.

Man I have to get myself a kayak.  I am itching to try the flats out in back of IBSP.  I am hearing that all around the Sedge Isdland it is hot and loaded with fish.
