Well I guess you can't catch quality fish two nights in a row. Went out last night similar conditions, Good water lots of bait. Narrowly avoided the skunk with one dink.
Nice going fellas, you got to be in it to win it! Fished a few times in the last few weeks but got a lot of skunks. Out in Moco last night, finally connected with two Short stripers on storm shad. Have been hearing of some bigger stripers but mostly from the boats. Will keep trying because the weather is great and the fish should be showing up more regularly. good luck everyone.
I went out on Sunday and got one short on clams in Cape May so maybe things are getting traction.
Good going gents. got a 27 incher yesterday right before sundown on a popper. Moco
Nice!
A heads up for you guys that there are a lot of bass offshore at the 3 mile line. I am talking stripers between 25 and 45 pounds. We ran bunker spoons today out of Belmar. there were a lot of bunker and bass right near the line. Some of the charter boats were actually over the line. Made me sick to see it. We managed four stripers to 37 pounds, all released. I hope they come in for you guys we'll have to wait and see.
Finally seeing some bigger yellowfin in our local canyons plus a wahoo. Lots of Mahi but most were too small to even bother keeping. Caught a extra large triggerfish on a pot which was nice.

"slippery bass" as my father in law used to say, are in the back:
Two of us fished OC noon till 6pm. Very slow day. One short bass and one bluefish saved us from the skunk. Wind blew hard south all day. Water had gone almost up to the dunes at the 10am high tide before we got there.
Moco last night from 6 to 9. a blitz came through with small bluefish crashing peanut bunkers. Got one on a popper but they were moving so quick and I didn't feel like running down the beach. Right at sunset I got a nice hit on yellow colored SP, but it got off after a few secs. At least it was something. Will try to fish again this week. Thanks for the reports guys. You are giving me hope.
Been fishing the striper spawning river dirty water. Me and the crew have been catching from 1 to 5 stripers a night from 28 - 34 inches. All seem to be cookie-cutter in size along with a few shorts. there is so much bait around it is crazy. We are using bunker chunks and peanut bunk. Catch em up they are out there if you want to spend time looking and fishing.
Nice going gents. Worked a sandy beach in monco last night. the south winds were pretty tough as described. I gave up after an hour.No hits runs or errors.
So moco from 3:30 to 5:30 just left the beach. Slight wind, beautiful surf, just one blue on a popper for me. There was some birds diving and possibly fish breaking but waaaaaaay too far to cast to. Did see some boats clustered up. Again too far out to see anything and I didn't have binocs. They must have been getting them good because it seemed like a tight cluster.
yeah that is becoming the gripe of the New Jersey surfcaster. "I saw fish busting but they were just a little far out of casting range!" I have had that same frustration many times. Telling yourself if you only had a kayak or a boat you would be crushing them!
Started out today in Ocean County. Got off work early and was on the beach by 4pm. Only managed one blue that hit a smack it topwater. Then decided to move to the next county north. between sunset and the half-hour after, I picked up two short very fat stripers to 27 inches.
On bucktail hopping along the bottom. Too bad there were not more fish, but I had fun anyway.
Good job guys. Has been very spotty for me this fall so far. Slim pickings. with family and kids my nights out are limited. Fished 3x this week, managed a few stripers two nights ago. Then, the night after that, nothing.This morning fished 5-7, one short. All on rubber shads.
