raritan bay and ocean area temps

[plugcrazy]

Temperatures in the ocean have gone down to 66 degrees. anyone else think when this bad weather stops the ocean will be alive with bait, stripers, and blues?

Hopefully this storm didn't push them out of the bays and flying south I've seen it happen before in the heyday when there was allot more fish

Usually around Saint Patrick's day the bay starts to empty which is next week I hope I'm wrong but this storm is not good especially after last week it's been NE for 2 weeks NW is what makes for a good fall

St Patty's day? no offense but were you drinking green beer before you posted that? Perhaps you meant another holiday?

Try Glenlivet next time it is a lot smoother than cat in the hat beer.

Ocean temperatures are almost perfect. Last night I took a reading of 66 degrees. Striper time.

Even better than that the temps are now in the zone. Ocean is 59. The bay temps have been hovering in the 50's. One bad set of days was around the 18th when temps plummetted over 15 degrees in one night with that cold northwest wind. Went from over 60 to 45 in one night and gave some of the fish lockjaw. This week they have been in the mid 50s perfect striper water. The problem is not too many fish are here.
