Take a moment to celebrate the course of events this week in 1776, while wishing the U.S.A. a happy 250th! Also celebrating this year is Jingles Bait and Tackle in Beach Haven on the south end of LBI, established 50 years ago during our nation’s bicentennial in 1976. Hot enough for you? Heading into the Fourth of July Weekend, we see more summer visitors this week at the Jersey Shore, include jumbing redfish off South Jersey as one former Iggles wide receiver gets arm-weary in the blitz. Best striper action is now up in Patriots territory right now actually, which leads into the best of the holiday weekend action in terms of fluke. Tips and tactics to score in July along with our weekly Dream Boat Leaderboard rundown, we’ll also spotlight bluefin action at the Jersey Shore this week with a sneak peek at the latest Canyon Runner intel. George has your freshwater advice with the Pocono Outdoors Guy’s weekly report, and we wrap up the week with another Jersey Shore anniversary, the twelve days of terror – and the genesis of JAWS – that all began in Beach Haven on July 1, 1916.
