Ocean County surf this morning. I heard it was dirty, but it looked okay to me. Threw metal and bucktail for an hour 6 to 7 AM. Got two short stripers, one on metal, one on bucktail. These were tiny fish, biggest was 18 in

Nice haul JB

Lots o boats crushing the bass and they are doing well in delaware too. My cousin texted me some pics of ones he caught in the last few days, nothing giant, but some nice keepers. Seems like the fall run is passing the surf guys by, really sucks.

Hit a few places in moco before dark. Water cleaned up a bit, pulled 2 shorties on a shad. Didn't see much else going on. this fall sucks for me so far with the exception of some good albie action.

OC from 1 to 3a. Colder than a witches t*t and windy. Walked a nice beach with structure that has produced for me in the past. Skunk city for me.

Thanks for the honesty, feel the same. Thought it would be on by Halloween, guess not. Have to be in a boat to catch a decent striper.

Didn't do much better in moco today. Got 2 small bass right around 6:30 AM and all life died out within 5 minutes of the sun coming up despite a good amount of small bait around. Got mine on small shads fwiw.

JF I think you are right. I got friends in DE who are catching them too. Our NJ fall striper run seems like a bust so far.

I thought I would do better travelling so the last time I fished I went to lbi. fished last weekend from before sunrise to 10am. Tried plugs and rubber shads in the dark. Nada. Got one 23 incher on a clam. I know they are catching some nice stripers. A pic of 47 or 48 pounder was posted in the tackle shop I stopped at. Still it appears like the bite is very inconsistent. One day they catch a few and the next day sucks. Not so good a fall for me so far.

Cold as a witches t*t in the am. Spent 2 hours plugging, one striped one on yellow SP. Later on I took a ride up north and saw what looked like a normandy invasion of boats about 1/2-3 miles off the beach. Didnt see anyone in my area catch from the surf.
