A bunch of 2- to 4-pound bluefish stormed the AC shores according to Noel of One Stop Bait and Tackle in Atlantic City. The T-Jetty was the hot spot to find blues on plugs and chunk baits. Bass are still covering up the area and hitting on clams. Fluke anglers are starting to see more activity off the rocks dragging squid and Gulp baits. Here and there a black drum will also come up off the sands of Atlantic City.

Clam and bunker were getting it done this week on stripers and blues according to Noel with One Stop Bait and Tackle. While there are still some stripers to 40 inches around, the majority of fish this week fell into the bonus tag or slot limit range, which is good news for anglers looking to take home a fish. Blitzes of blues have been hitting the jetties with anglers throwing hard plastics from the tip of the jetties to the pockets. In addition to the gator blues in the 10-pound range, there have been plenty of good eating size fish in the 2- to 5-pound range. Keeper flounder are being caught along with plenty of throwbacks from the jetties, inlet and back bays. Squid and minnow combos have been the best overall baits, but anglers are also scoring on big spearing and mackerel strips. Some are reporting that the bigger baits, like the mackerel strips are producing the larger fish.

Gator bluefish crashed the T-Jetty according to Noel of One Stop Bait and Tackle in Atlantic City as the sunrise hours saw a push of not only blues to 14 pounds, but stripers as well in the mix. Plugs worked to fool the blues and bass with spooks and topwaters doing well to get hit. A few fluke and weakfish rounded out the mix from the local jetties.

Noel with One Stop Bait and Tackle reports that “Atlantic City is serving up some of the best striper, drum and bluefish seasons in many years”. Add to that the back bay flounder are starting to come alive and AC has it all. Blues and bass are out front along the beaches and jetties, but have also moved into the inlet and are being caught in the back bays as well. Oceanside it's been a clam, bunker and bloodworm bite during the day and an artificial lure bite at night. Noel is currently stocked with fresh and salted clams and bloodworms. Moving away from the oceanfront, anglers are scoring more consistently on hard and soft plastics in the back bays with stripers to 36 inches and blues to 12 pounds. Flounder action ticked up a bit this week with keepers coming from the jetties and from the back bays on live minnow and squid combos (also known as peanut butter and jelly). Sunday morning saw three fish over 3 pounds weighed in with two being caught on PBJ and one falling for a big old chunk of bunker.
