No lack of stripers

There were no reports yesterday except from Chuck Many who got out before the rain and released large stripers from his Ty Man out of Highlands

It was a different story today as the Sea Hunter from Atlantic Highlands got out to fill a boat limit of slot stripers quickly while falling just a couple short of 28-inch plus bass along with a bunch of blues. The second drift covered 1.6 miles with non-stop action.

Down the coast it was the same thing as the Golden Eagle from Belmar as they were limited by 10:30 and released about 200 bass. They also caught a dozen or two blues.
