Toms River Area: From the Ortley Beach to Island Beach State Park guys are crushing bass on snagged bunker. The Sod Banks are also providing some great bass action on the dusk and dawn tides. The inlet is holding nice bass action on the outgoing tide. If you heading to the surf load up on fresh clams and bunker chunks. Many anglers are using small poppers under the bridge near Pelican Island. Gilford Park has been holding 7 to 8-pound bluefish taken on trolled spoons. Berkeley Island Park has been seeing some early incoming weakfish schools in the 13 to 18-inch class.
Seaside Park and IBSP: Bass to 15 pounds were weighed in from Island Beach State Park this week. Most guys are chunking bunker due to the big blues in the wash. Big bluefish blitzes were coming in from all around the surf zone this week with 8 to 10-pound fish on tap. Bunker pods were popping up all over the surf and bluefish pushed them into the Pocket at the tip of Island Beach State Park. Casino Pier in Seaside Heights had a monster blitz this part week all caught on swimming plugs. No fluke have been reported in the surf zone.
Waretown Area: Action is spotty at best in the Waretown Area. Striper action from this area started to turn on in 50 to 60-feet of water all caught on the troll. Oyster Creek Warm Water Run-Off is still one of the best places to find bluefish. Dragging pony tails along the bottom has been producing barely legal keepers. Bay anchovies are in town, but they can only do so much for the fluke bite.
