During the fall bluefish can be taken in the inlet using big plugs and poppers. On the surf use cut bait or peelers crabs. In the inlet use bucktails during the spring and switch to artificial baits like Mirrolures, Rat'l Traps and top water poppers with the approach of the full moon in June. Surfishing in the fall is good for trout as well. The regulated flounder season starts in mid May and runs into October.
Drift minnows, squid, or shiners on the bottom.
Sand fleas and green crabs are the best bait. Tautog are the most clever bait stealer around. Fishing for them requires alot of finesse. Kingfish show up on the surf in May with spot, croaker and blowfish arriving in late June. Bloodworms and peelers are the best bait.
