Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle reported solid surf action this week, with clams proving to be the go-to bait along the wash. Peg found success working the surf, landing a striped bass over 31 inches after soaking clams in the breakers. The surf also produced a standout catch for Rick, who hooked into a beautiful black drum Wednesday morning on fresh clams, adding some heavyweight excitement to the beach scene. Greg also joined the action, throwing clams into the wash and connecting with a quality striped bass of his own.

Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle reported that the surf fluke bite continues to gain momentum, with anglers pulling more fluke from the beach with each passing day. Striped bass remain a reliable target along the surf as well, providing anglers with steady opportunities to hook into quality fish. Black drum continue to round out the catch, with the hard-fighting bruisers keeping rods bent and adding to the diverse springtime surf action. With multiple species available from the sand, anglers have plenty of reasons to hit the beach and soak a bait or cast a lure.
