Report archive

Fishing report log updated June 23, 2026

This archive is checked daily against current source pages and keeps a dated log of what fish are being reported, where those reports are coming from, and whether each region looks early, warming, hot, steady, or cooling. Over time it becomes the migration notebook: the same places and species can be compared week by week instead of disappearing into old report pages.

Chincoteague to Ocean City

Ocean City back bays, inlet, jetties, beaches, and offshore wrecks

Striped bassSummer flounderBlack sea bassTautog

The latest source check shows the bite building for Striped bass, Summer flounder, Black sea bass, and Tautog around Ocean City, back bays, inlet, and offshore wrecks. This southern end of the board still needs a source check before a long run because bay water, inlet current, and offshore weather can split quickly.

Ocean City is shifting from early back-bay flounder and tog into sea bass and inlet striper windows as May water warms.

Delaware Beaches

Striped bassBlack sea bassBluefishBlack drumSummer flounder

The latest source check shows the bite building for Striped bass, Black sea bass, Bluefish, Black drum, and Summer flounder around Broadkill Beach, Lewes, and Delaware Bay. Wind and surf clarity remain the big daily filter for this stretch.

Delaware beaches and inlet structure are in the spring mix phase, with surf drum and blues overlapping early flounder and sea bass windows.

Striped bassSummer flounderBluefishBlack drum

The latest source check shows the bite building for Striped bass, Summer flounder, Bluefish, and Black drum around Cape May. Back-bay temperatures and ocean surf conditions are still deciding which lane fishes best.

South Jersey remains the handoff zone from back-bay bass and fluke to beach stripers, inlet bluefish, drum, and sea bass.

The latest source check shows the bite building for Striped bass, Bluefish, Summer flounder, and Bluefin tuna across Sandy Hook, Raritan Bay, Shark River, northern beaches, and NYC Harbor approaches. Check the source link for the bay-to-beach shift before choosing bait, plugs, or a boat run.

North Jersey is the staging lane where Raritan Bay fish often slide toward ocean beaches and the New York Bight.

Fresh source checks are strong for Striped bass, Summer flounder, Squid, and Weakfish around Montauk. The island still breaks into very different surf, bay, Sound, and offshore lanes.

Long Island is in the main spring striper push; watch bunker, inlets, western Sound feeds, and the next eastward slide.

The latest source check shows the bite building for Striped bass, Bluefish, Summer flounder, Scup, and Mackerel around Long Island Sound. Sound current, herring runs, and squid reports are the daily tells here.

Connecticut is moving from schoolie and river reports into stronger Sound-wide spring action as bait concentrates.

Fresh source checks are strong for Summer flounder, Black sea bass, Scup, Squid, and Striped bass around Narragansett Bay and Block Island. Squid, bunker, herring, and bay water temperature are the signals to check first.

Rhode Island is in the active southern New England spring window, where bass size and squid timing can change fast.

Fresh source checks are strong for Striped bass, Bluefish, Summer flounder, Squid, and Black sea bass around Cape and Monomoy. Canal tides, south-side bait, and sea bass timing all deserve separate checks.

Cape Cod is moving from first-wave stripers into a broader spring setup with blues, sea bass, and tide-specific Canal windows.

Fresh source checks are strong for Striped bass, Summer flounder, Squid, Mackerel, and Winter flounder across South Shore, Boston Harbor rivers, North Shore beaches, and New Hampshire approaches. Bait arrival, mackerel availability, and river herring runs drive the better fish.

Massachusetts is moving deeper into the spring arrival phase; mackerel and herring reports are the larger-bass trigger.

Fresh source checks are strong for Striped bass, Squid, Mackerel, Haddock, and Pollock around Maine and New Hampshire. Freshwater inflow, alewife runs, and in-close bait determine how far north the saltwater bite has filled in.

Southern Maine and coastal New Hampshire are the northern edge watch zone as fresh stripers fill rivers and estuaries.

Source clarity

Hard observations stay separate from planning guidance.

Tide height, high/low predictions, station air pressure, air temperature, and water temperature come from NOAA CO-OPS where available. Hourly weather comes from the National Weather Service. Slack/current timing uses the nearest NOAA current-prediction station when one is available; otherwise the app labels tide-turn windows as an estimate. Catch score and migration-path guidance are planning models built from live conditions, moon phase, season, and regional species patterns, not real-time fish telemetry, a guarantee, or a regulation summary.

Best for: Fly boxes, tools, rain layers, and organized carry around water

Before the run

Match the bite window to the clothing problem.

Reports help decide whether the trip is worth making. The next decision is what the weather and water will do to you: hot sun, spray, wet footing, glare, wind, or a ride home after the temperature drops. Use the HUK fishing apparel and gear hub when the report points to a hot boat day, wet run, ramp morning, or dock-to-water session.

Gear paths

Use conditions, not brand loyalty.

  1. Hot sun or glare. Start with performance tops, hats, gaiters, gloves, and sunglasses.
  2. Spray, fronts, or wet seats. Compare rainwear before the ride home gets uncomfortable.
  3. Docks, ramps, and cockpits. Deck footwear belongs in the same planning pass as tide, wind, and launch timing.

Local reports board

Surf, inshore, and offshore fishing reports by coast section.

These cards are built from local tackle shop report pages, regional fishing-report publishers, and agency fishing resources. Each section links back to the sources so anglers can check the newest shop post before making the run.

How to use this board

Start local, then verify the newest bite.

  1. Pick your coast section. Use the chips on the left to jump to the area closest to your planned launch, beach, inlet, or harbor.
  2. Compare the three lanes. Check surf, inshore, and offshore notes separately so beach bait, bay water, and boat reports do not get mixed together.
  3. Open the source links. Use the tackle shop, publisher, and agency links on each card for the latest posts before you make the run.

This board organizes 9 coast sections and 38 local sources.

Chincoteague, VA / Assateague / Ocean City, MD

Chincoteague to Ocean City

ChincoteagueAssateagueOcean City
Surf Fishing reports for Assateague and Ocean City beaches focus on spring stripers, drum, skate, rays, and bluefish. Fish cuts, sloughs, and dusk tide changes first.
Inshore Back bay channels, bridge lights, and inlet rocks are the practical lane for school stripers, flounder, bluefish, and early-season weakfish reports.
Offshore Ocean City and Chincoteague boats start with sea bass, tautog/reef trips, and early canyon-watch chatter before tuna reports become steady.

Local shop and Maryland DNR reports give the clearest current fishing report picture for this southern end of the board.

Indian River Inlet / Lewes / Delaware Bay

Delaware Beaches

LewesIndian River InletBroadkill Beach
Surf Fishing reports for Broadkill, Cape Henlopen, and the ocean beaches focus on bunker, clam, and cut-bait action for stripers, drum, bluefish, kingfish, and sharks as water warms.
Inshore Indian River Inlet, canal edges, and Delaware Bay structure drive flounder, tog, weakfish, and bluefish updates when current and clean water line up.
Offshore Charter and head-boat reports generally build from reef and wreck sea bass/tog toward farther tuna and mahi windows later in the season.

Best bets

Use shop reports here because wind direction and water clarity change the bite faster than regional reports can keep up.

Cape May / Wildwood / Atlantic City

South Jersey

Cape MayWildwoodAtlantic City
Surf Cape May through Atlantic City surf fishing reports focus on bunker pods, clam baits, and inlet current for stripers, black drum, blues, kingfish, and sharks.
Inshore Back bays and sod-bank edges are the fluke, weakfish, bluefish, and schoolie striper zone, especially when outgoing water clears up.
Offshore Wreck, reef, and canyon reports split the board: sea bass and tog closer in, then tuna, tilefish, mahi, and billfish as the offshore season opens.

Best bets

Local reports here separate beach bait from back-bay water temperature and offshore fleet movement.

Sandy Hook / Raritan Bay / NYC Harbor

North Jersey and the New York Bight

Sandy HookRaritan BayThe Battery
Surf Sandy Hook and northern beaches usually produce bunker, shad, sand-eel, and night-tide striper fishing reports with bluefish spikes when bait stacks tight.
Inshore Raritan Bay, harbor edges, bridges, and back channels drive the most reliable spring striper and fluke reports before ocean beaches stabilize.
Offshore Mudhole, wreck, and canyon updates start with bottom fishing and shift toward bluefin, yellowfin, and tilefish as the fleet pushes east.

Best bets

Regional publishers are useful here because the bite can slide from bay to ocean beaches in a single weather window.

South Shore / North Shore / Montauk

Long Island

Fire IslandShinnecockMontauk
Surf South Shore beaches, inlets, and Montauk rocks are the surf headline: striped bass first, bluefish on bait, then fluke and summer speedsters.
Inshore Great South Bay, Peconic, North Shore harbors, and inlet mouths carry fluke, porgy, weakfish, bluefish, and bass reports around tide edges.
Offshore Montauk, Shinnecock, and Moriches offshore reports build from cod/sea bass and shark trips toward bluefin, yellowfin, tilefish, and canyon water.

Best bets

Montauk PointShinnecock InletGreat South BayNorth Shore boulder fields

Use both tackle reports and publisher reports; Long Island breaks into very different surf, bay, Sound, and offshore zones.

Long Island Sound / Block Island / Narragansett Bay

Connecticut and Rhode Island

New LondonNewportPoint Judith
Surf Rocky points, breachways, and beaches are the striper, bluefish, and false-albacore lane, with night tides and bait schools setting the tone.
Inshore Sound reefs, river mouths, Narragansett Bay, and Block Island edges carry bass, fluke, scup, sea bass, tog, and squid reports.
Offshore Offshore fishing reports come from Coxes, Block Island, the Dump, and canyon trips: sea bass and cod closer, tuna and shark windows farther out.

Best bets

Watch HillThe RacePoint JudithBlock IslandNarragansett Bay

This region benefits from pairing shop reports with tide/current data because rips and reef current drive the bite.

Buzzards Bay / Vineyard / Nantucket / Cape Cod

Cape Cod and the Islands

Woods HoleFalmouthNantucket
Surf Outer Cape, Canal, Vineyard, and Nantucket surf reports pivot around striped bass, bluefish, sand eels, squid, and hard-running tide stages.
Inshore Buzzards Bay, Vineyard Sound, Cape bays, and shoals carry sea bass, scup, fluke, stripers, bluefish, and bonito/albie timing as summer builds.
Offshore Stellwagen, east of Chatham, the lanes, and canyon water set the offshore board for bluefin, shark, cod/haddock, and later pelagics.

Best bets

Cape Cod CanalMonomoy ripsVineyard SoundNantucket shoals

Cape reports are tide-specific; the same species can be hot in the Canal and quiet on open beaches the same day.

Boston Harbor / Gloucester / Portsmouth

Boston, North Shore, and New Hampshire

BostonGloucesterPortsmouth
Surf North Shore beaches, boulder fields, and river mouths track striped bass and bluefish around herring, mackerel, and sand-eel movements.
Inshore Boston Harbor islands, Salem Sound, Plum Island, and Portsmouth edges are the inshore lane for bass, flounder, mackerel, and squid reports.
Offshore Stellwagen, Jeffrey's Ledge, and nearby banks carry haddock, cod, pollock, shark, and bluefin updates depending on season and closure windows.

Best bets

Boston HarborPlum IslandGloucester rocksJeffrey's Ledge

North Shore and New Hampshire reports lean hard on bait arrival; check shops before a long run.

Saco Bay / Casco Bay / Penobscot Bay / Camden

Southern Maine to Camden

SacoPortlandCamden
Surf Southern Maine beaches and ledges usually center on striped bass, mackerel, pollock, and bait movement, then thin northward toward Penobscot Bay.
Inshore Casco Bay, river mouths, island edges, and Camden-area ledges are a tide, mackerel, and striper timing report with groundfish farther offshore.
Offshore Jeffrey's Ledge, Platts Bank, Cashes-adjacent runs, and Gulf of Maine grounds carry haddock, cod, pollock, shark, and tuna chatter.

Best bets

Saco Bay beachesCasco Bay ledgesPortland HarborPenobscot Bay structure

Maine reports can be sparse north of Casco Bay, so pair shop reports with charter intel and NOAA marine conditions.
