George at The Dock Outfitters in Seaside Heights reported lively action right off the dock, where anglers are hooking into bluefish. Crabbing has also just begun to turn on, with keepers starting to show up in the mix as conditions improve. In the surf, a healthy variety of species is keeping anglers busy, with bluefish, fluke, black drum, and striped bass all showing up along the beachfront. The mixed bag bite is giving surfcasters plenty of opportunity, with steady action depending on bait choice, tides, and moving water.
