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.

Well, it’s been a while since I have done a report – first the storm and the flooding and then the winds and beach erosion, and then just that there has not been a whole lot happening yet! The only weigh-ins since the storm have been tog weigh-ins from up at the lighthouse where tog fishing has been very good. Jared send this picture of his 16″ tog caught Sunday. And then yesterday Chris Masino snagged a beautiful striped bass – also caught up at the lighthouse, on a lure. My reports from the beach is that there is not much bait action and mostly just a few dogfish. The water is cooling down and we are seeing striped bass north of us, so hopefully we won’t have to wait much longer.
