Betty & Nicks Bait and Tackle Fishing Report- 9-30-08

9/30/08 UPDATED 10:00 AM Action is still decent. Regular angler Jeff Moncrief and his buddy both landed 30 inch fish on Storm Shads at Area 6, and Mike R. just weighed in a 9 pound 6 ounce bass on clams from Te Judge's Shack.UPDATED 7:09 AM Just talked to Johnny G. He's up in Lavallette and he says it's "Unbelievable". You can't keep a bait rod in the water. He's already got a 30 incher in the box. This is 3 days in a row now so it's almost looking like this is not a flash in the pan. This is actually happening.

UPDATED 4:57 AM Looks like it's going to be perfect this morning. It's cool and crisp just like a Fall morning should be.

YESTERDAY'S REPORT: UPDATED 6:35 PM Had 2 bass and one nice bluefish weighed in. JB Turner weighed in a 10 3/4LB bass from IBSP on clams, Vinnie Cala weighed in a sister fish weighing 10 3/4LB from Seaside Park on a clam., and Art Girgus weighed in amn 11 pound 8 ounce bouefish from IBSP on a mullet.

UPDATED 12:04 PM Just had 2 more bass weighed in. Matt Blithe of Pennsauken brought in a 29 incher from Area 20 on clams, and Jim Holt from Bayville also brought in a 29 incher on clams from the north end of IBSP.

UPDATED 9:55 AM Just got another from IBSP. One of my early morning customer has landed a nice 30 inch bass on clams and the angler fishing next to him has landed 3 short bass on clams at Area 20-21.

UPDATED 8:47 AM Johnny G. just called me again and he has put another keeper in the box from Lavallette so he's done fishing clams for the day and now it's time for catch and release.

UPDATED 8:40 AM Just got 3 more reports. Johnny G. is fishing clams in Lavallette and he has 3 fish, one 29 1/2 incher he put in the box. Michael S. is fishing a little north of Area 7. He and his buddy have landed 10 bass in the 25 - 29 inch range on AVAs and eel teasers. Shell E. Caris went down to The Pocket and didn't see much of anything caught there. Seems like all the action is from Area 7 and to the north again. Beautiful, perfect day.

UPDATED 7:16 AM Got my first report of the morning. Small bluefish being caught on 24th avenue on T-Hex metals.

UPDATED 5:21 AM Haven't talked to anyone that fished last night yet. The wind is a perfect northwest and the conditions should be sweeeeeet.
