One fish Two fish Red fish BLUE FISH!!!!!!!

The Snapper and cocktail blues are all over the place.  Most of the fish are small but there are a lot of them great fun for the kids.  We have been selling tons of live minnows that people have been fishing on bobbers or snapper poppers.  Another very popular way to catch them is on little metal spoons such as snapper zappers or kastmasters.  The flounder fishing in the ocean is VERY hot also at places such as Ocean City reef Townsends Inlet reef and the Wild wood reef.  If you are willing to tack the ride there have been very good reports from the Old grounds and reef site 11 also.  Think big for ocean flounder big bucktails 2-4 OZ and big baits such as strips of squid, mackerel or bunker 3-6 inches in length.

Big Tautog

Captain John Pratt formerly of Ursula fishing and diving charters in Sea Isle City was fishing with a couple of friends aboard the “Ike and Dee” over the weekend when he hooked in to this monster Tautog.  It tipped the scales at 12 lb 13 oz.  You may be asking well did it bite on a green crab? white leg? fiddler?  japanes?  NO salted clam. While crabs are the preferred bait for toug, I have gotten, and seen other people get some very nice fish on salted clams. Using different bait that has not been drug in front of the fish a hundred times can be the ticket to getting them to bite.  "Think outside the box” and  as Captan John would say “only believe half of what you see and none of what you hear/read”..  :)
