Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle said Bob has been connecting with multiple bluefish lately while throwing metal, a sure sign that the fall bite is heating up. Kingfish are also around and biting on sand fleas, while blackfish are starting to chew around the jetties, giving surf anglers another species to target as the season changes.

Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle said Steve landed an absolute doormat of a fluke measuring 27.75 inches and weighing 7.05 pounds. Kingfish and small bluefish are also providing plenty of fun on light tackle from the surf.
