Fisherman's Den

It was a decent week of fishing in Shark River inlet and the river said sources over at the Fisherman’s Den. In the river and inlet rental boats are still seeing shorts dominated the fishing but the last week saw some better numbers of keepers caught as the fluke are starting to move out into the ocean. Bluefish and bonito popped in an out of the inlet several times during the week and were also making runs at the beaches to the north of the inlet. Anglers fishing the jetties are into blackfish on green crabs and occasional bluefish and bonito, along with a few triggers and kingfish. Crowds on the party boats have lightened up since the holiday, but fishing for blues and bonito and fluke and sea bass has been decent when the conditions are favorable, we were told.

Despite the crazy storms and weather this past week it was a decent week of fishing in Shark River, the inlet jetties and the beaches to the north and south of the inlet, said sources over at the Fisherman’s Den. Rental boat fishermen are into tons of short fluke with a few keepers mixed in. Anglers fishing the jetties are picking up some tog, triggers and fluke. Bonito, mixed size blues and a few Spanish mackerel have been hitting the beaches on the top of the tides north and south of the inlet. Party boats have also been into mixed size blues, along with bonito and Spanish macs and fair fluke fishing.
