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.

You are lucky to have all those rivers within reach. We have the mullica and maurice by us but they are muddy a lot of the time and the dominant fish is the white perch and small stripers. Those are some very nice fish thanks for sharing.

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 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.

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?

from what I can see there are bunkers around but,I believe there are atlantic threadfins out there too.
if you don't know what those are google it,they are cool looking fish and most mistake them for snappers when they are being chased.

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.
