Island Beach, New Jersey - Saltwater Fishing Report
Island Beach State Park
Two days ago monster Blues and Bass had Bunker, cocktail Blues and Hickory Shad pinned up against the beach. After a day of catching 30 inch to 40 inch fish I got out the cast net and caught my limit of 15 cocktail Blues, 14 Hickory Shad and 2 bunker. Today wasn't as hot, so I used big chunks from the Shad, which produced 6 Stripers that were just shy of 28 inches and 3 Blues up to 14.75 pounds.
