From what I have heard there are Gorillas on the North Side.
Have had the occasional blue on the south side.

Thanks for the report. I had some business out east last night so I made it out to the NS in the montauk area. Fished the last hour of daylight before dark with a pencil popper. Got a large blue about 11 lbs and a short bass about 7 lbs. Nothing else for me though I did see a lot of small bait in the water. It can only get better from here on out.
Have a great fall run guys.
Fished SS hoping for a morning bite. Picked up 2 small schoolies on buck and rind.

Hey surfstix I saw a post from you a while ago about moving from LI. Did you move yet? If so how is the fishing at your new crib? Good luck
Fished out East this morning from 2:15-8:30.
Strong easterly winds, water a little dirty with some weeds, very fishy looking.
One 22 inch bass on the orca and lost a nicer fish after a few solid runs just before landing on the RM Smith Waverer.
Couple hits and misses.
Good, fun, hard fishing trip. Was great fun fighting that larger fish.
Lotsa white water.

Got a few bass this morning. SS. All shorts to 24". White magnum swimmer with red head.
Nice. I'll be fishing more starting this week hope to have a report for you guys soon.
Yeah they talk about how Jersey beaches are so appealing to tourists. They def ruined Cape may for fishing compared to how it was 15 years ago. It is slowly coming back with more structure. When they get done with monmouth county the tourists will love it but the sand will be gone in a a few years. Kill all the structrure until a noreaster comes and undoes that sand. What a waste of money.
Worked the water near a ss inlet today at false dawn. Picked up a handful of shorties. All released. Small poppers worked for me. As the light came into the sky a few others were having luck with tins. A few small blue fish as well. Good luck in the suds surfstix. We are poised for a good fall here.
Fished out east this morning 2:00-8:30.
A major skunking. One bump early and that was it.
Saw some small bait, looked like spearing in the shallows.
Still a great time, when there was some light in the sky I pushed out on to a couple rocks (further than I had been going).
Next time will attempt to do it under darkness and likely a more turbulent surf :bigeyes:.
Couple pics

Nice report, at least ya gave it your best shot.....:thumbsup:
I'll wager it won't be too long....before ya add swim fins to your gear...and start swimming out to those rocks at night....:HappyWave:
It's become very sporadic....but some of those rocks up there do have holes that hold bigger fish during certain parts of the tides....(just like the tips of many jetties in certain areas of NJ used to do)......before they were leveled and all life around them wantonly destroyed in the name of beach replenishment......:banghead2:
Awesome sunrise pic. Question do you ever use teasers or think they are a waste unless you are looking for false albacore?
When I found the spearing on this trip I tied on a teaser for a couple hours. Was the 2nd time this year I used teasers.
I used to use teasers at least 90 percent of the time, not any more. I have spent so much on plugs that if I am going to catch a fish it better be on one of the plugs not some dinky little teaser.
Fish are smaller year by year in the surf, smaller plugs are probably the answer nowadays.
Good point and thanks. I got a few runts this morning on the ss. The ole pig and jig. A little rough but fishable.
