Plenty of big bass have been lifted here, especially on live eels at night. Party boats also set up shop here for bass at night. Boaters fishing for bass usually follow the drift on the fringes of the channel. The action from a boat seems to be better at night than during the day. Drawbacks to this location are the sand structure changes, which change from year to year, as well as the swift current.
Some years are better than others.
In the boat basin, it s mostly a night bite. Weakfish up to six pounds come inside the basin chasing baitfish and snapper once the sun goes down. Bluefish, schoolie bass and fluke are also picked up here. Just around the corner from the basin, along the rocky shoreline, you can catch blackfish, sea bass, porgy, and flounder. Walk west past the Coast Guard Station to the rocky shoreline facing the inlet.
