And the drum played on
First, shop news.
Just a reminder, our online Berkley Gulp! sale runs until midnight on Wednesday 4/23/25. All Gulp! is 20% off in the online store. Take the chance now to stock up before fluke season starts.
We have a new model from Salty C’s available, and these are niiiiiicccccceeee. The Salty C’s Fatboy Swimmer is 6.5 inch, thick bodies metal lipped swimmer that is going to be great when bass are targeting bigger baits like bunker or herring.
How is the fishing? The drum bite in the bay is the hot news right now. They are taking fresh or salted clam, and we have had reports from multiple places along the east side of the bay.
The other big news is that there are striped bass in the surf now. This is also a clam bite. We have been looking forward to hearing about a bass from the surf and we got multiple reports this past weekend.
Don’t believe us, check out the pictures…

Look, Scott was running out of witty tag lines for drum. So pretend he wrote something really funny here. Why he would all of a sudden be funny on this one, who knows…
Ryan Farrington had himself a night. Easter drum, let’s go
Florida Steve comes up and puts the first official surf striper on the board.
Florida Steve again
@wilder_merton22 got a nice one
Florida Steve is back on ’em! Just released another over-slot striper from the surf on a clam
Florida Steve keeps sending them to us! Here’s #4 from the surf. Safe to say we have bass in the surf.
@do_itall_dave and his son are on the bass this evening
So, how coincidental that Ray gets back from camping and there is an epic wildfire that breaks out? Did Ray not properly extinguish his campfire? Either way, Fire Marshall Ray is going to help….
