The 4 blues I caught in the dark all were on a black teaser.
The bass caught around 4:30 was on an SP minnow.
Lots of fun, beautiful night. Was bayside.
I am getting quite addicted to that time of night on the beach. Very tranquil. (I know you said bayside- but just being at the ocean at that time)

5-27-13 PM report
After the NW winds over the weekend figured I would take a chance in the ocean on the night shift. Water was clean and clear, with a little bit of chop, Fished top of the tide again.
Water temps about 52 degrees. No signs of bait or fish.
Fished 3 hours, 4 locations. No action at all for me. :skunk:

The solitude and peacefulness of the night tides has become an addictive thing for a lot of us, Rob...the fishing may not always be better but if it does turn on you don't have to worry about someone spotting you with binoculars and 10 guys coming down and crossing lines just because you caught a fish.....to me, that solitude is priceless...whether you catch or not.....and one of the biggest things to draw us out there deep in the night... the fish are a bonus....:HappyWave:

Good to see them paying off....:HappyWave:

Re: NJ Fishing Reports for May 2013....www.StripersAndAnglers.com
I walked a few beaches in oc last nite from 7-10. Good conditions out there a little rainy and wet but the wind wasn't that bad. One bluefish on metal.

Sleep is highly over rated.
I have the week off, tonight will be the last of 5 straight nights out there, then my weekly Saturday night trip.
I am a bit loopy now, 2-4 hours sleep each day, last normal night sleep was Friday.
Fished this morning 1:30-7:30.
Ended up with 7 blues and 2 Bass. Largest blue around 25 inches, one double.
The bass were ~24inches and ~33 inches.
All caught in the dark except one blue. All released.
Had decent action, missed a bunch of hits again, lost a few.
Around 3:00 on a Blurple SP Minnow I hooked into what felt like a larger Bass, my braided line snapped on the initial run....
Caught the smaller bass on a 7" Red Fin.
The 33" bass on a Savage Gear Prey Minnow Purple (after the loss of the SP)
Great night again, lots of fun.

Amen to that monty you have to be out there when the fish are. I have been fishing Hudson county for the last 2 weeks. Stripers to 32lbs at night. bunker heads and chunks. Sometimes they want the heads, other nights they want chunks. The fish are done with the spawn and hungry. I released any fish over 20 lbs and kept the smaller ones (legal 2 fish limit only). I don't want to go into any more detail because there is a tool bag who is posting pics and naming the exact location he got his 34" fish. that guy is real dumb and I hope he is not a member here. I posted about it in that spot burning thread hope he reads it would like to **** in his bag of bunker and dump it on his head. Clueless. Sorry no pics all my pics have too much background and I am not good at photoshopping. Put in your time and you will catch. tight lines
Re: NJ Fishing Reports for May 2013....www.StripersAndAnglers.com

Re: NJ Fishing Reports for May 2013....www.StripersAndAnglers.com
Fished this morning from 1:30-6:30 bayside.
Covered lots of area, did loose a nice bass on a rubber shad.

Great time, warmest night of year, will now rest up for Sunday AM trip.

Fished a mini-Monty-marathon :HappyWave:in the bay last night. 5 1/2 hours lasting into the daylight.
First 3 hours no action at all, even at dawn. Just as I was about to move to another area, a small flurry of action developed.
Managed 12 blues, all small to medium. A few of us there were very happy for that action as it seemed the bass action was non-existent there and for this dawn it was a dead zone. Also managed a 20" fluke on metal. I rarely fish for fluke as I have no interest in catching them unless they are over 25"...but I kept this one and will be eating for dinner tomorrow....

Sun came up too fast today...
I prefer overcast days on the times when I'm still out there in the daylight....that's why I fish the night tides...but as mentioned, without that action from the small blues (all on metal) it would have been dismal. I'm extremely grateful those blues decided to show up. :fishing:
Re: NJ Fishing Reports for May 2013....www.StripersAndAnglers.com
Nice going ds I was out yesterday early from 8-11 in nomoco and fished the incoming. One guy was outcasting and outfishing all the others. I paid attention like you recommended and soon after that got 3 of them. They were feisty and fun! All on metal 1 oz ava with green tail,
Re: NJ Fishing Reports for May 2013....www.StripersAndAnglers.com
Big blues all on meat, chunks. Bayshore area. The bunker came in and the blues after them. Only fished one rod cause if you fished more than that you would of lost it. Big gators, 10 lbs and up
