Welcome to Surf City Bait and Tackle - formerly Bruce and Pat's Bait and Tackle and before that Sandy's Bait and Tackle - our shop is the oldest continuously operating bait and tackle shop on Long beach Island - providing quality bait and gear for fishing and crabbing on Long Beach Island since the late 1940's. Our staff are all avid anglers and are glad to provide you with advice, information and share their knowledge to assist you in having the most fun and success on your fishing and crabbing trips.
Fishing has shifted a bit to summer species. Striped Bass and Bluefish are being caught still but Fluke has picked up.
Fluke: (Summer Flounder) Fishing in the surf has been great on some days with a few off days here and there. Overall, some fantastic flounder fishing this season so far with many over 20" Gulp and strip baits are the ticket on a Hi-Lo Rig. We have store tournaments open for Flounder. Store Flounder Hook and Line and Store Flounder Spearfishing Tournaments both open! Stop in and join up!
Weakfish, although not in large numbers are being caught daily. This week some Kingfish action was seen mid-week with steady bites on Fishbites and Sandworms.
There are still plenty of Bluefish around and come in waves - bait is Butterfish, Mullet and Bunker - any metal lures and bucktails work equally as well.
There are a few Blowfish being caught and large numbers of Spots have arrived in the bay to provide action for the kids.
Crabbing has been very good so far - steady catches especially in the back bays.
