Bass fishing is slowly… but surely… improving. We are hearing about more and more fish every day now, however, it’s still a little slow… but it’s still early. Things seem to be coming along in a typical spring pattern and we should continue to see improved fishing from here out.

For the boaters, Clam Chumming will probably be a good bet right now, especially closest to the inlet. The East and West bar’s in the inlet, the Big Meadowbrook, Loop Parkway and Swift Creek bridges would also be worth a shot. We’ve heard of a few fish in the inlet and a few in the back bays, but again… this is only just beginning. Stay with it, because IT WILL GET BETTER FROM HERE!

From the surf, we’ve heard of a few fish here and there… mostly on clams. We had one customer report a few fish in Long Beach, on clams another customer had a few fish from Jones Beach Field 6 on clams and a few fish from Robert Moses on clams as well. Like we mentioned… a few here and a few there. Not much on any plugging, except for Little Neck Bay where a few people are still catching the schoolie sized fish on high water.
