Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “Summer mode here for sure. Bass on eels, shallow at night and deeper during the day. Lots of bunker in certain places but not many fish after them, so grabbing some and going to a more typical summer rip/reef makes more sense than sticking around the bunker pods from what I've heard. Topwater on cloudy and windy days has also been very good, with some solid 40-inch class fish mixed into a bunch of smaller ones. One storyline this year has been bass on tiny bait that have been really resistant to eating anything else. It's frustrated a lot of folks, myself included. I'm trying to tell myself it's a sign of a killer fall run. Sea bass and fluke remain consistent, with guys tending to go after both pretty equally. The change this year has been in the successful fluking that a lot of people are getting fired up about. Most of my guys this morning have been heading for fluke, which is a big change from bass which would've been the dominant target for early morning guys the past few years. Squid rigs, Nomad Squidtrex, Daiwa SK jigs in blue/pink are all working for sea bass. For fluke, I'm seeing a lot of white, green, and chartreuse go out the door. Porgy are everywhere and eating pretty much anything. No surprises there.”

Matt from Black Hall Outfitters emailed over their report to say, “Sea bass is back open and still solid, fluke still consistent, striper stuff turning into more summer mode with soft plastic eels, nighttime, and live bunker/eels being killers along with big topwaters. Tuna has been great so far and still shuffling around in terms of where the fish are and what they're eating.”
