Fished OC out front 3:30 to 7:30 pm. Three of us caught about 20 stripers, micro size to 27". The wind turned hard north and killed the bite for the last hour we fished. All fish caught on plugs.

Nice work guys. I fished the general area of ibsp yesterday before work. Only had an hour. Got some micros as well. Was casting an ava with a teaser.
Great to hear the schoolies are filling in! I fished the big D this weekend with bloods. Got some stripers and cats. My biggest was a 29 incher. There was a guy early morning walking off with a 20 pounder when I got there. He said he got it before sunrise on bloods as well.
I punked out on the weekend because of work and rain. Will try to get out this week you can't catch them from the couch. Good job guys. Saw that 58lb cow. Looks like big stripers are really starting to show up.
Fished moco ocean last night, one striper 23 incher on a rubber shad. Few more bumps, couldn't hook them.
where are the blues??
Blues are a little south. They are in Barnegat Bay. Other people should be getting them any day now.

Nice!
Very nice report. The last few days have been pretty steady. I haven't been out there every day. Some younger fishermen I know have, and have been catching. I was at island beach yesterday from 2 to 6. For me they hit plugs and rubber shads. Smaller stripers, very feisty and fun to catch.
Fished moco back bay 8-9. I got a massive hit on my white sp when I first got there, and the fish got off. Kept casting, was rewarded with a 27 1/2" striper, so close but no cigar. Hopefully next time will get that keeper. good night out, warm weather and easy to handle.
Tried the ocean for the first time last night from 6 to 8. It looked really nice. That is the key word here "looked" because I felt like it should have been more fishy. Got 2 very small stripers on chartreuse storm shad. Where are the blues I am jonesing for a racer.
moco in the back. Bumped one bunker with my plug and felt like it was going to be epic last night. Famous last words, skunk for me.
Been doing pretty good up in rb at night. That slowed down in the last week. Last night fished from 11-2 and only managed one. 31", hit a MD.
Way to put the time in. Skunk in 2 counties for me Sat. Started at 9pm in the back of moco. Nada. Then went to oc and fished the last hour of the moving water. Skunk there as well, unless the one sea robin I got on bucktail counts lmao.
Sea robins, skate, dogfish, and boat fish don't count!
How about giant rays, or cow nose rays?:HappyWave:
The old salts fishing for bass would count any trip that didn't land bass as a 0. Just saying.
Old salts- cool. Love that thanks for sharing.
Went out front to nomoco yesterday afternoon around 1pm. It was dead. Water was beautiful and I felt like there had to be some fish coming in. Maybe just delusional thinking on my part. Came back about 3 hours later at 4pm. There was a bunch of guys catching blue fish and one or 2 small stripers. I don't know what kind of bait was in the water. Seemed like they were feeding on it though. Looked like very small bait to me. Got a few blue fish on a crocodile spoon. Once they hit they would go wild! Fun stuff and a good way to end my saturday with some fish caught.
Man that is such good news. Have been out of the loop for some time. Hoping to get out later today. good luck guys and girls!
Skunked last 2 nights in a row. back bay, lotto fish are leaving the area to make babies in the Hudson.
Nice going gents. Jigfreak you put in a lot of time fishing. When you skunk out it must be legit. I fished nomoco yesterday. It was a beautiful afternoon and the water wasn't that bad on the beach I fished. A few other guys, only a few fish caught. I was throwing a shad and caught 2 short stripes. Figured the blues will be in full effect soon, felt like I could sacrifice at least one shad to the sharp teeth. No blues for me though. I get to throw my shads another day.
I skunked too. Sunday morning in moco ocean front. Should have tried the back. felt like more stripers would be in the ocean on the migrating trail. boy was I wrong. Not even a bluefish. Hope they get here soon.
Can't catch them from the couch!
Went to nomoco yesterday from 7-9. It was close to low tide. Some guys were out so far they could have been in kayaks lol. Saw a few blues caught. I was casting a tsunami talking popper. Had a blowup right before sunset. The fish did not come back. It was exciting though. Can't wait to get out again. Good luck guys.
Our best area has dried up, fished for the whole incoming tide Tues nite, skunk city. Moving east hoping for some better luck.
A few short bass in the surf this morning between 6 and 7 a. Surf was a little turned up, but the fish were there. Got them on diamond jig with red tube
It was very foggy. I did not go into the park but fished slightly above it.
Good job CC. Nice to see you posting again. I might be heading down that way this weekend, catch em up.
So moco in the back last night, I was too lazy to drive further north. Goose eggs. Some nice blue fish are out there, may hit the ocean later on after work
Clam chucker, thanks for the SS report, glad you got out fishing.
Heads up I have been getting short stripers an and few keepers last two mornings in a row before work. In the surf in OC area. Lots of rain fish around. Getting them on plugs, SP and darters.
Stayed local last night. Did pretty good on big blues and some bass out back in OC. Started with jigs, they tore the rubber up so went to plugging. Blues to 13 pounds, bass to 10 lbs. Stopped when the rain started. Good times.
Nice! thanks for sharing what worked.
I fished in rb, it seemed like the fish left from there. Next time will try the ocean.
Gave in to the hype and fished AC Thurs. Got some nice blues, best was around high tide. All on white SPs. Figured I would get there ahead of the crowds. This weekend will be a **it show.
