Our friends at Creekside Outfitters reported that sea bass fishing continues to produce, with anglers finding success on both clam and jigs. While both methods are catching fish, jigs have been the clear standout lately, accounting for some of the better catches and keeping rods bent throughout the day. In the bay, fluke fishing is beginning to show signs of improvement, with larger fish starting to enter the mix. Anglers are finding success with a single killie fished on a hook, while Gulp shrimp has also been a productive offering for tempting summer flounder. With a stretch of warm weather moving into the region, there is growing optimism that rising water temperatures will further improve the bite and help kick local fisheries into an even higher gear.

The crew at Creekside Outfitters reported that sea bass fishing continues to improve, with anglers finding increasingly consistent action on local wrecks and reefs. Small-profile jigs have been leading the charge, particularly diamond jigs dressed with bright teaser tails and epoxy jigs that imitate the abundant baitfish in the area. Adding a Gulp shrimp teaser above a jig has also proven to be a highly effective combination, helping anglers entice extra bites from aggressive sea bass. One customer shared a particularly productive tactic for targeting larger fish, reporting that quality sea bass have been absolutely crushing clam baits, especially when tipped with killies as a secret weapon. As the bite continues to build, anglers using a mix of jigs and natural baits are finding the best success and putting together impressive catches.
