I’ve been bending over backward looking for upside angling things. The most I could find – without going offshore fishing – is some so-so-ness, with moderate-at-best hooking on the fluke front, our only viable fishery for many weeks to come.

Of bait note: There currently seems to be a grass shrimp no-show, bayside LBI. This wouldn’t be the first time a low grass shrimp year gets thrown into the hit-or-miss marine environmental mix.
