SEASIDE PARK WEATHEROceanside Getting Better and Gulp! Gulp! and more Gulp!
This week in Grumpys shop news, like most other weeks, we had new products come in. We had more Van Staal reels come in, including a couple of the updated for 2021 VR series reels. These have an stronger main shaft, better waterproofing and now offer black as a color in all sizes. We also got in the hard to find Van Staal Power Grip Handle Knob for the VSX reels. These have been selling fast. The other big arrival was Berkley Gulp!. Lots of Gulp!. No, seriously, the biggest order of Gulp! Ray has ever made. Both the bags...
End Of March Goes Big!!!
We have a lot of big news for this report, both in the shop and for the fishing. Read on! First, we are going to be carrying more LIVE BAIT!. Ray has finally approved it. We have built and tested an eel tank. So far, it has only held one eel, but we have so much confidence it will work we are building a second for killies, and possibly a third for live pilchards. We’ll be running to Florida every other day to get the pilchards, which are going to be a great bait for striped bass, fluke, and...
First Official Spring 2021 Report
Thanks everyone for coming out to the shop, or visiting the website, for our Spring Has Sprung sale. It was a rousing success. We appreciate everyone’s support. Ray is trying to be humble about this. As you can see, he is failing… We have moved things around in the shop. We now have a self-serve frozen bait freezer for our customers. For those of you who don’t want to talk to us in the shop, you can grab whatever you want yourself, including squid for fluke, and bunker for crabbing. And if you are going to miss talking to...
Ray Thawed Out
We received a big order today. Sixty five boxes. It warmed Ray so much he totally thawed out since the last fishing report. And even grew some hair (see the picture...). We will have a lot of restocking to do, but should have it all out well before the weekend. What did we get? Wait and see, we still have boxes to open... Oh yeah, right. You are here for a fishing report... It's been a blizzard since the last report. The ocean has been in "Victory at Sea" mode for the past few days. The waves are reaching to, and...
Striped Bass are Still Here
We got some reports on Wednesday of fish being caught along the beach in Seaside Park and out on Island Beach State Park. It's not the action we had a month ago, but there are still stripers around. What hasn't changed is what they are getting them on, Avas, Hurleys, Tsunami Sand Eels, and teasers. We did have one angler report that the fish had peanut bunker pinned to the beach for short while, so it might not hurt to have Tsunami Shads or Storm shads with you too. Our hours for December 24th are shortened. We will be opening...
