Clams have been connecting with stripers in the LBI surf according to the folks at Jingles Bait and Tackle in Beach Haven. A good show of slot fish are around along with sub legal caliber fish to eat up the clam baits. Folks there were expecting the first bluefish to get reported before the first of May, especially around the Holgate area at the inlet. If clams aren’t working for bass, try and switch up to bloodworms to mix it up a bit.
