“Badges? We ain’t got no badges! We don’t need no badges! I don’t have to show you any stinking badges!” That oft-quoted line from the 1948 film The Treasure of the Sierra Madre has been uttered a lot Down the Shore this week, post Labor Day, along ‘badgecheckerless’ beaches. Our first weekly video fishing forecast for September of ’24 runs through the latest catches as reported back to The Fisherman, by beach and by boat. A new school year may have started, but Jenni’s Open Boat segment offers options for playing “hooky” by the weekend. Despite a little sketchy weather forecast for Saturday, consider a return to the beaches soon for a little run and gun recon with those hardtails with advice for mobile surfcasters (Sunday winds forecast for NW, could be prime for chasing albies or fluke in the suds). Our weekly freshwater rundown with George Schauer the Pocono Outdoors Guy and a rundown on the latest news and events this first week of September.
