It’s early for the fall migratory run of striped bass, but the fishing that’s been going on seems to be up to the usual cold weather migration standards,

Capt. Fred Gamboa made an inshore trip with Andreas Toy from Perth Amboy to start off that season after lunch on Sunday and quickly found a pod of bunkers before getting into lots of 32-42-inch bass.

Chuck Many said he didn’t leave Raritan Bay that day for hot bass fishing. No “monsters”, but all from 28 to 44-pound releases for Alex Katyan and John Korn on Tyman from Highlands.

There are small craft advisories up to late tonight, but the morning forecast is for west at 10-15 knots with a chance of showers.
