Bay Park Fishing Station

At Bay Park Fishing in Oceanside, I was told that fluking has been rough inshore. Anglers who reported their catch saw better quality in the bay with live peanut bunker to cull out larger fish. Sea bass fishing has been decent at the reefs. There are a bunch of blues in the bay all over. Albies and bonito have been seen right outside of the inlet. The Windmills have also been holding albies and bonito in addition to triggerfish, mahi, and small blue fin tuna. Overall, tuna has not been productive. The shop did not receive word on cobia, though they anticipate next week may be some of the last opportunities at them. In other news, there are still plenty of sharks right off the beach and a handful are seen in the bay towards Hewlitt. Juvenile bull sharks were reported. On the bait scene, the bay is loaded with peanut bunker – as many peanuts as you can get, however, they have not seen any mullet running yet.

At Bay Park Fishing in Oceanside, the shop reports that the reefs have been consistently producing fluke. Two cobia have been weighed in at the shop, one weighing 40 pounds. At the windmills, anglers have caught a mix of both blue and yellowfin tuna, bluefish, mahi, and almaco jacks. The bay is quite warm, and as a result, they believe the bigger fluke have moved out to the ocean wrecks and reefs, however, there are bluefish all around.
