Got a few striped bass to 35" last night after the rain. 2 hours after high tide. SS. Same yellow darter. Released.
Headed to West End inlet this AM, nothing doing in dark. Lost a fish on darter in the light, then caught 2 blues between 30 and 35 inches (metal lips).
Lot of guys fishing in the day light, only saw or heard of two other Blues caught.
First Blues of the year for me, they are fun.
Headed to West End inlet Monday AM again, two short bass and 4 blues.
All between 20 and 25 inches. Lost 3 larger fish, likely the big gators.
Bass on black teaser, plugs were getting hit, not hooked up.
Had a 7" loaded redfin knocked into the air in close, could hear the bbs rattling.
Have been fishing a little E of there, similar results. The big bass seem to have breezed past montauk and are at the ccc already. Things sure are changing. Nice going on the gators, they are fun.
Nice going guys. Took some time off for the goog weekend, back at it either tomorrow or fri.
Fished the Sound, West, Sunday AM. East wind made it murky, weedy, plasticly. Lost a fish on an HH Metal lip in the dark. Then picked up two short bass on Pojee.
Nice. I've been on a skunk streak with stripers lately, only blues for me.
Finally made a trip out east before fathers day. Did a lot of casting. Managed to hook 2 solid fish toward the middle of the outgoing. 10lbs and 17 lbs, released. They took SPs. Right at dawn there was a 10 minute flurry of bluefish. Hit the SP, and also small tins. Hardly anyone else fishing out there.
Nice Nitestrikes!
Been hitting the the SS, Moses/Jones ocean side the last 3 AMs, 1-5 AM basically.
3 trips, 3 bass, ~26 inches,~32 inches and this AM ~36 inches. Happy with these bass, last year had big time issues catching a bass 30 inches. All released.
Also no one out there fishing.

Nice going on the stripers guys! i hit that area on sunday and got the skunk. I overslept and didn't get out there till 6:45 am. By that time it was over. Have to try to make it out earlier next time.
That type of "fishing" is not for me. I like the solitude and don't mind working for the fish.
Fished this AM, same 1:00 - 5:30.
Dropped two bass in a crazy wash in the dark, one on a 10" Hogy was a decent bass.
Then false dawn was on way back to lot and saw a swirl, picked up 2 Blues and a Bass ~28/30 inches on Surf Asylum Flat Glide white.
Large amount of small bait had moved in and covered a wide area. Was all alone, but had to leave.
