WONDERFUL WEAKFISH
If you’ve been waiting for spring to arrive to go fishing, it’s time to stop waiting. Clearly spring has been in the federal witness protection program – that’s the only explanation I can come up with for this insanity. It may be delaying the bluefish, but there is fishing to ...

1ST WEAKIES OF ‘18
The activity up in Raritan Bay had lots of folks headed that direction last week, but the warm spell on Friday and Saturday was enough to convince people to go out and fish up and down the area. The reports of keeper bass are still very much hit or miss, ...
