It was posted here last week that Fishermen's Beach was closed. Try the inlets for bluefish on the outgoing.

Fisherman's Beach (Area F) re-opened as of Sunday 4/30. Saw it at low tide. Looks like plenty of snags at high tide. Either "mark the junk" or fish away from the entrance. Report posted on the wmidotorg site for 4/29, Area E:

Report:
After 2 zero days at the Western Sandy Hook Bay spot, it felt good to catch something. Action certainly was not fast. A bluefish, about 30", on a 1-oz Crippled Herring spoon tipped w/ Gulp. Quite a lull, then a very small striper, about 13" on a 1-1/2-oz Gator spoon. Another lull, and a 21" striper on the Crippled Herring/Gulp combo. Fished the latter part of incoming tide, and then the outgoing. There is now an outer bar, and therefore this spot may not be productive at low tide.
