Down at Grumpys Tackle in Seaside Park the word is that backwater bass are keying in more on bloodworms than artificial baits right now so you may want to adjust your gameplan accordingly. Rumors of some black drum have already hit the area waters. Winter flounder fishing is often overlooked but may be pretty good as bass anglers tossing bloodworms have been hanging a few in their journeys.

Frankie at Grumpys Bait & Tackle said they are seeing more fish come into the back bays with anglers catching mostly on bloodworms and some artificials like small X-raps, NLBNs, and Kettle Creeks. Pelican Island is a hot spot right now. A few guys out front trying are trying for some out in the boat. Nothing has been reported off the beach yet. Not much news on white perch. They have regular and jumbo works in stock.

They had fish this weekend, said Scotty at Grumpys Bait & Tackle, adding there are still fish in the rivers but theyre pushing into the bays now as well. Scott said the guys up north are starting to plug fish up north on the Raritan, while Kettle Creeks and XRaps are working locally near the shop. Kayakers are having better luck that surfcasters at this point; which as a reminder, Scott said the Tupperware Swap Meet for kayak anglers will be held at Great Bay Outfitters in Tuckerton on Saturday starting at 10 a.m.
