Tough day for NY/NJ Bight stripers in boat traffic

The Big Mohawk from Belmar had a shot of stripers up to 47 inches right away before traffic put the bunker schools down and resulted in few bites.

Great big striper blasts in NY/NJ Bight

Stripers can be very fussy when under bunker schools, but that wasn’t the case Sunday on the Golden Eagle from Belmar with a mid-morning blast that had everyone hooked up with large basss bass.

Capt. Ron Santee got right into stripers with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands and had some keepers among them.

tripers hit in rough waters

Capt. Rob Santee reported very good live bait fishing for big bass in a NW wind with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands. Capt. Mark DeBlasio a had a similar report from his crew on Water Proof after a poor day – and included keeper-size bass.

Tough striper bite

Capt. Ron Santee of the Fishermen at Atlantic Highlands got an early shot of big striper action, but after that it was mostly sharks in the bait. Santee noted “Bait finally showed after the change of tide but I think the customers were whiped to their knees by then. Praying the NW over the weekend gets things moving with the jig bite! Bass fishing in t shirts in November is not my idea of bass fishing,,,,,Bring on the SNOT!”

Birthday striper trip

Capt. Ron Santee reports “Another happy birthday for me today, great day shared with awesome customers! Thank you for the gifts, made my soul feel good.

Had a very nice couple hours of a bite fishing the bait today! Just about ever pod we hit had a few fish in them.

All big fish once again. After the change the bite slowed, we kept working several area’s only to find an odd fish here and there

Sailing everyday except SATURDAY THIS WEEK.

7:00am-2:30pm. Open Boat, No Reservations, fare is $100, Rod Rental $20.

See you in the AM,

Capt. Ron

Epic day for Bg Mohawk

The Big Mohawk from Belmar no sooner left the inlet this morning to get into big stripers blasting bunkers — and the crew couldn’t keep up with all the releases!
