No LBI Classic weigh-ins over this weekend which was surprising but I did have a report of a striped bass caught in Holgate. But I do believe they are still a bit north. I know there are tons of striped bass out there caught by boat still a bit north of the island as reported by the Jingles team that was fishing on The Starfish this weekend for the Marlin & Tuna Club’s LBI Cup. Steve and his team caught 20 striped bass coming in with 2 keepers!! For tog anglers, the limit is now 5 per person as of yesterday and they are still catching tog up at the lighthouse.

Stripers are here and there…. mostly too big, with a periodic slot weigh-in every. And yesterday is was Emmett Fitzgerald’s day! Emmett weighed in this fatty last evening caught in Harvey Cedars – 13.08# and 30″! He was using an artificial soft bait. We had some other striper reports earlier in the week – Pat Gallen caught this 34″ beauty (wearing his lucky Jingles Hoodie!) and another customer had a 44″ – both safely released to swim another day. By boat, we are seeing some big cows also, but they are still catching those still north of the island.

It’s a beautiful sunny day and a great day to get out on the beach with the winds from the west. Anglers are starting to get some stripers off the surf. Sonny Markoski weighed one here at the shop on Sunday coming in at 8.1# and 28 1/8′ on a lure in Beach Haven and Jim sent me a report that same morning and caught 4 bass using artificial sand eels, this one pictured at 33″. And there was a weigh-in this morning the for Surf Fishing Classic caught on and SP Minnow in Loveladies. So it’s time to get out there! Tog continues to be plentiful up at the lighthouse with a few striped bass caught there too.
By boat, anglers are catching striped bass and sea bass are now at 15 per angler and are pretty plentiful, but you will need to head further out as the usual closer spots are pretty picked over.
