Alot of blues weighed in with a cpl stripers. Yesterday eh, not so great. At least not for me as I was out there fishing too. Only thing I caught was a few short bass and a nap & plastic bags. HOWEVER, there was a couple of people who had a good day. TJ with his almost 23 pound striper, Marcus with 12.84 lb blue and lets not forget #womenthatfish. Marie with her 22.54 lb striper. 

Today, there has also been a few weigh in already. Some fishing pre-dawn and some early am. Some nice size ones. Lets hope the bite stays on. Get out there and fish. Keep those lines tight! ~Jerry

5-19: Weather in one word, "Sucks" but if you are willing to brave the wind and rough surf there is fish being caught. Had a few bluefish weighed in since last night and this morning. Caught on bunker. Surf conditions is a East wind right in your face with gusts to 22 mph. Reports are  8 oz is holding today where as yesterday 10 oz or more was needed. Make sure if you do go out you have rain gear and some type of face mask as like I said, the wind and sand hits you right in the face. We do have Bimini Bay Solar Guard masks in stock. ~Jerry

5-23: Good Morning! Yesterday seemed to be a little slow. Only 3 weigh ins. 2 pretty decent in size. The fish are out there. You just gotta put the time in with bunker seeming to be the bait. Tomorrow's weather (Wind) looks like it's gonna be my favorite type, North West and at a nice 10 mph. We have fresh bunker in stock and only a few more days left for driving on the beach so get out there and get your lines in the water and keep'em tight. ~ Jerry
