Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle announced a fresh delivery of bunker is in stock, giving anglers a prime bait option for targeting the fish currently moving around LBI. Stop in and grab some while supplies last! Meanwhile, the tautog bite is producing some quality fish around Barnegat Light. Paul put a nice tog on the board using crabs, while Pat landed another solid fish on sand fleas. Reports of blackfish continue to roll in from the lighthouse, with green crabs also producing fish around the inlet. With fresh bunker available and tog action heating up, anglers have plenty of reasons to get out on the water.

Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle said the tautog bite continues to produce, with Steve landing a solid tog in Barnegat Light on green crab. Nick also got in on the action, catching a nice tautog for the LBI Surf Fishing Classic, also on green crab. The shop is well stocked with green crabs, eels, bloodworms, and plenty of frozen baits for anglers heading to the surf, bays, or backwaters.
