Jb you are crushing it! Good job.

Fished oc inlet last nite in the rain. It sucked. Got wet and no stripers or blues

[hookedonbass]

The day started off great with eight quality bass within the first hour and then the fleet grew out of control and spread the fish out.
We bounced around from spot to spot picking a fish here and there. Decided to make a move far away from the fleet to some structure that has been good to me in the past.


We were rewarded right away and we absolutely beat on them for hours with eight double headers on the day.

Wow just wow. Beautiful stripes man.

Myself i got the skunk. Dirty water near SH, struck out.

We went out for a few hours Sunday evening and it took some time to catch enough bunker to chunk with.


We chunked from 7-11pm and ended up landing 9 bass to 25# and missed quite a few more along with a few bluefish cutoffs.

Trolled the back of the bay this morning for sunrise and a half hour after. Two stripers
, one 14 and the other 22 pounds. Mojo's did the trick. Kept the 14 pounder for the table, released the other one. The activity seem a lot less than it has been. Maybe they are getting ready to go up the Hudson.

Fantastic photos and stripers gentlemen. Thank you for sharing.

I was hoping to run into mr. Striper or mr. Blue last night monmouth county in the back river area. Threw poppers, rubber and white and black SPs. I had one hit that I missed. It was very slow. The other guys I talked to said they weren't doing anything either. Bring on the blue fish I need one!

[fishinmission78]

They invaded Ocean County and they're here in force. Big Blues yesterday from 6 p.m. till dark. Poppers and swimmers. I got sore arms. BB

[baitstealer]

Love seeing those big stripers whether I am catching or not. Congrats and tight lines.
Went to the ocean down by Pier Village last night. It was rough and didn't catch anything. After that moved to a location in the back, tried for blues, got the skunk.
