well,I used to do the beaches a lot but, realized one important thing,rivers have much more fish in them.
I have not fished the beach in years.
I find larger rivers with deep holes and strong current areas have fish in them almost all the time.
Thames,housatonic,saugatuck,west river,they all have fish in them almost all the time especially Housatonic and thames.
don't they have rivers in Jersey?,,,,,,,I know there are but,why don't guys fish them?
got me.

well,those rivers are all nearly an hour away from me but, I will travel to any of them.
Hmmm,white perch?,,,well the bass is it''s first cousin you know and I am willing to bet that at times there are some good ones in those rivers you mention.
winter time I bet you can find them in the quiet areas of them too.
there are many other smaller rivers that are not mentioned here that have fish in them wintering over,one just has to go hunting.
look at this:

if you do some recon,you will find many guys that fish those rivers,I'll put money on it.
maybe you are lucky to have those rivers.
if there are white perch in there,then there are stripers in there.

Thanks for sharing Rip-Plugger. Looks like you had a great year. Your plugs are awesome. Keep up the great work.
thanks Vpass,it started out good then died out .
nothing doing until some gators showed up then it was good but, not a single bass from early june until October this season.
then the gators vacated and the bass showed up but,not in strong numbers.
it was not as good as normal,was a sad spring.

2 from this am,both on my rip-splitters.
one yellow and one pink chocolate @7 inches.
Wow nice going those are some healthy looking bass. What are they eating to get that fat?
a couple taken on a BPS plastic pencil.
small fish seem to be the only game in town now so,I had to get in on something.

Nice mid summer catching, man.
It's refreshing to see some large bluefish still around. I hear they are tight to the bunker schools, out in the Sound. Same thing in NJ. More bunker than anything else, but still some larger bluefish to 10# around......People may not be getting the numbers of bass, and from time to time you hear fishermen complain about big blues "getting in the way".....
Large blues provide rod bending action during the summer doldrums. I'll take the fight of a few 10-15 # blues any day over a bass that size.......Good work Roddy. :HappyWave:
Was out fluking on Saturday and pulled up a 6-7# fluke on the first drift. As I go to net this fluke I see this 12-15lb bluefish swimming half dead in circles on the surface. My guess he was improperly released by one of the two boats trolling bunker spoons near me.
yes it is,my friend and I met up and the gators were beating the crap out of my roundnoser,I only landed 1but,was hit and hooked up so many times.
when the sun got up,they moved on,it was fun watching them slam that fat *** plug then jump and shake it out.
my buddy laughed when I pulled that piece from my bag,it was in there to test out as it never touched water before.
when he saw me getting slammed so many times he stopped laughing fast!
Way to go on the gators!
