We are open daily for the 2023 Fishing and Crabbing Season!

May 25th, 2023 Store Hours (SUBJECT TO CHANGE)

Mon-Sat: about 6 a.m. to about 6 p.m.

Sunday May 21: 7:00 a.m. to 4 p.m.

We currently are carrying (as available) Fresh Shucked Clams, Surf Clams in Shell, Fresh Bunker, Sand Fleas and a variety of frozen bait (Call for availability of bait as it varies based upon supply)

FLUKE season is OPEN until September 27th!

Black Sea Bass season opened on May 17!

Striped Bass are still biting in the surf on Clams, Bunker and some on Plugs

Bluefish are all over from 2 to 10 plus pounds - fishing has been good for Bluefish the past 2 weeks on both bait and lures: metal and plugs. Fluke from shore and boat have both been producing nice size fish. A small number of Kingfish have been caught but very few thus far. There are a fair number of Smooth Dogfish around some spots so make sure you have enough bait!
