Down the road at Chasing Tails Bait & Tackle in Oakdale, Billy reported non-stop bass action has local anglers going wild! Boat guys are having a field day with big fish, all over the schools of bait. Poppers, bucktails, SP Minnows and swimbaits are working very well. Tog action is hot on the local wrecks and reefs, munching up crabs on rigs and jigs. There are plenty of fish to catch, with a great ratio of keepers.

Down the road at Chasing Tails Bait & Tackle in Oakdale, Billy reported fluke reports were solid this week. The end of the season is coming up and some really good fluke are being caught. Reports of fish in the 4 to 6-pound range have been common this week. Striper reports are off the charts, too. The second wave of fish is here, and they are here in force. Eels, mullet, bunker, and sand eels are all on the menu. On the boats, guys are tossing bucktails, NLBNs, Storms, and SPs, and of course dunking some live eels to get in on this killer bite. He also said surf guys are having an absolute blast with fish up to 30 pounds. Bucktails, needlefish, NLBN paddle tails, and SP Minnows have been pulling some solid fish. He went out with the boys, Vinny Cagnina and Will Jacobs, the other night, and they were all hooking up and pulling in some solid bass, all in the 10- to 15-pound range, with Vinny’s solid 20-pounder coming in clutch at the end of the night.
