In the heat of the summer, night fishing can be better than daytime fishing. Some anglers like to fish the suds with lures for stripers. The Inlets are good places to fish at night. Trout usually hit when the tide is slacking. Bluefish hit when the tide is running.
Blues tend to run on the half tides when the tide is either halfway in or halfway out.
Often times the anglers must add an inline sinker to his or her line to get the bucktail jig to go deeper. Always carry extra sinkers and plastic curltail grubs along. Inlet fishing can either be hot or slow. Inlet fishing is usually best during a light easterly breeze. If the breeze is from the West or there is no breeze, go fishing elsewhere.
