Bass up and down the local beaches hitting bunker, clams and artificials. Jim Mathis picked up bass in the Brick area yesterday and Mark and Dave Chamberlain each brought in a keeper caught "North" of Casino pier already this morning after 4am. The canal remains hot as well as the Toms River after dark. We have fresh shucked clams, fresh bunker, live eels, regular and jumbo bloods and green crabs.
