Tom at Surf City Bait and Tackle said blackfish action has been mixed with some tides offering plenty of bites and others slow. Early in the week, one angler caught five keepers, only keeping two. Another angler caught his limit while weeding through numerous shorts. Back bay fishing continues to be decent for striped bass. Some white perch and a few drum, and even a few winter flounder and blackfish were caught by the pilings. Folks have been trying for stripers off the surf with salted clams. He heard of four bass landed over the last couple weeks. Some were caught Saturday in Surf City, Harvey Cedars, and around Manahawkin Bay.
