by Some caught best early, and others later — and some did best on shads while others used live bunkers and some had the most fun with top water plugs — but everyone seemed to get into a striper bite in Raritan Bay today despite the weekend mob.
Miss Belmar Princess reported a good catch of keeper bass, but didn’t indicate where that action was — in the nearby ocean or after a trip to the bay.
Nick Honachefsky said he’s caught over 200 bass from shore this spring, but the first one from the surf is always special.
The forecast remains favorable with east winds at just 5-10 knots and a slight chance of showers plus fog.
At Belmar, the Golden Eagle and Big Mohawk both reported lots of short tautog Friday while cod also remain in the picture.
The Fish Bound from Ocean City, Md. continues to hook trophy tautog. with 15 double didget tog, such as this one by Dennis Muhlenforth, released in a four-day period.
The Jamaica from Brielle got into stripers on Friday, and will continue in that quest.
