I have been fishing since I could walk. My grandfather was an avid surf and deep sea fisherman. He taught us all to fish and we used to drive onto the beaches of Jersey when I was a young boy. I spent a lot of my earlier life fishing freshwater. I moved to this area in 2005 and I have been rekindling my experiences fishing saltwater ever since. I love fishing the surf and just about anywhere else the fish happen to be. I hope you find this site useful and informative.

We put this blog together to help some friends to find good fishing information. Enjoy. Please post any info you feel we have missed or what you have been catching, where and what bait etc etc. We do not want Honey holes just public areas and in general location terms.
