Forked River

The ocean turned on for fluke fishing off the bathing beach at Island Beach State Park, said Dave from Grizz’s Forked River Bait & Tackle. Four of the flatties more than 5 pounds apiece, including a 10-pound 8-ouncer that a 7-year-old checked in, were weighed in from the waters on Wednesday. Dave’s uncle landed three keepers there that day. Fluking sounded alright at Barnegat Inlet, and nothing much was heard about fluke fishing on Barnegat Bay. Dave couldn’t be sure whether that meant few anglers fished there or the flatties were migrating toward the ocean. A few blowfish were reported taken from the bay, and toward the BI and BB markers was probably a place to look for them. Anchor and chum, and fish with small pieces of clam. A few bluefish roamed around the bay, and nobody mentioned catching weakfish in the bay or anywhere. Nobody mentioned striped bass catches in a while. Snapper blues schooled the lagoons and back waters. Crabbing was great, and customers said they never saw so many large blueclaws.
