Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle said Spanish mackerel have arrived and are hitting Deadly Dicks, giving surfcasters an exciting new target. Fluke are also continuing to bend rods from the beach, with Gulp proving to be the most productive offering.

Fred at Surf City Bait and Tackle said fluke and crabs remain the main attractions, giving anglers plenty of options both on the water and around the bays. The shop has also stocked up on Deadly Dick jigs, a proven choice for targeting bonito, Spanish mackerel, and bluefish. With September bringing cooler water and increased bait movement, anglers should keep these versatile jigs ready as fast-moving predators begin to feed more aggressively and the fall inshore bite starts to build.
