Badfish Charters News Today

Chesapeake stripers in the 40-inch class hit South Jersey's beaches, Long Island's south shore sees a big wave of over-slot fish, and schoolies file into the Cape Cod Canal along with bunker and herring.

Tautog fishing improves in the backwaters as fluke season closes, and anglers gear up for the sea bass opener while gusty conditions and high seas keep boats docked.

The back bays host blowfish, weakfish, cocktail blues and schoolie stripers, sheepshead fishing is good around the bridges, and fluke activity takes a dive around the wrecks and reef sites.

Spanish mackerel and albies are in the surf of IBSP, blowfish pave the back bays, and weakfish are peppered in with backwater schoolie stripers.

Striped bass continue to crush topwaters, bucktails and more along the beaches, while tautog fishing has been slow and steady on the wrecks.

Sea bass fishing picks up, and a massive body of 40-inch plus striped bass invade the beaches from Seaside to Island Beach State Park.
