NJ Fishing Reports for November 2015 - www. StripersAndAnglers.com

[hookset]

There are a few things to remember about the surf cams. They only show a certain area unless you view one that has panning features. There could be a blitz a mile up or down the beach and you would never know. They are helpful if you are looking at a few of them to get a sense of the swell that day. Of course if you see a bunch of little dots in the distance all clustered around you know either it is opening day of blackfish, fluke, etc, or they are out there bailing stripers or blues. The way this season is going you might not see it on the cam. Isolated patches of fish except for up in the raritan bay where they are doing pretty well.
The best way to know if there are fish is to go out there and actually try fishing for them.

Speaking of cams the manasquan cam is still down. The site is surfchex. I read they were going to have it moved by november. So any day now it should be back.

Fished moco. One of the most perfect nights out there so far. Total skunk!

[hookset]

Lots of driving this afternoon. End of Occo. Then up and down in Moco. One short on popper at sunset. Seems like the shad are still around too. It looks like the bass might be off the beach. Saw a few boats clustered up. Hope they were catching. Didn't see much in close where I stopped and fished at.

Ive been soo busy with the new addition to our family..Little Lucas James...That fishing has been on the back burner past 2-3 weeks....I finally got a chance Friday night when mom inlaw came down and helped my wife with the lil dude...I fished hard from 7pm till almost 2am tried 3 spots that have always produced fish for me this time of year.....Came up with a total SKUNK!! My buddy who met me out there did manage 1 short but not a tap for me....I no i havent been out much the past few weeks but put alot of hrs in before that..and yes hands down my WORST fall to date...Hell my WORST season lto date spring included.....As always its great to get out and get some salt in my lungs i just hope next time some fish are around to make it that much better

I agree with you have not been fishing for decades like some of you guys here but this is the worst fall for me to far. The big blues saved the spring afaiac but striper fishing from the jersey shore has been meh. jmo. Fished somoco this am from 5-7. Skunk for me too. Very flat ocean with not a lot of stuff going on that I could see.

Congrats on your new addition dude and thanks for trying to keep it positive. We need some good vibes. Or some stripers. Or some good bud and blackberry brandy for the november nights when it gets colder. Or the Mets to win the series for once instead of almost! We need something to hope for.

I know they don't count but they are fun to catch and release on my way now that the fog has lifted

[fishinmission78]

Went back to where I got the fish the other night and nada. I did snag a sandeel when I caught them. next time will take a phone pic. Scattered sandeels ***? If you cant fish every day its like youre out of luck. Really sucks.

[fishinmission78]

Also I was fishing above the park. Sometimes a better bite
. The only IB keeper stripers I heard of lately are on bunker. Fwiw there are not too many being caught.
Happy Thanksgiving gents and ladies.

Wondered how come you think that. Just looked at it the surfers on the sups are out there. Looks pretty clear to me with very flat water. Are they offering less features now? thanks for your opinion

That's what I feel like too. Hopskotch here one day and totally dead the next. Thanks for your reports. Reading them every day here is a great motivaor for me to get out. Even when you do get the skunk.

Just noticed this post and was checking out the cam today. Seems like it doesn't move around up and down the beach anymore?
