Surf fishing looking up

v

Ryan Class has been waiting years to catch his first legal striper before coming up with this one at the north end of Brigantine — and then releasing his prize. Riptide Bait & Tackle reported the catch made on salted clams.

Northern N.J. striper fishing was off this morning, but Capt. Michael Ardolino’s son broke the ice on Miss Belmar Princess

There’s a great forecast for Tuesday – west at 10-15 knots before going southwest at 15-20 in the afternoon.
