Huge stripers on fly

Shore Catch Guide Service reorts as follows:

“Big Stripers on the fly …..not an easy task especially in this area. What do we consider “big” on fly tackle? Anything over 40 lbs….but between the boat crowds (which is at an all time high these days), massive schools of large bunker difficult to imitate with a fleye, wind, weather ect…..making this happen is not an east task. No one does it more graciously that this guy right here, “Doc John” @jyavorsky. “Doc” has been fishing with us for over 25 years and he has landed countless fish in the 40-50lb class range, including one yesterday with Capt @eastbound_malanga on the #REELFREEDOM at an estimated 45lbs. Having the right gear is critical; and there is no better fleye than the Popovics Beast Fleye, which literally accounts for all of the big stripers we take on fly tackle. Great job Doc and big Jer ! #popfleyes#shorecatch#reelfreedomBig Stripers on the fly …..not an easy task especially in this area. What do we consider “big” on fly tackle?

Miss Belmar Princess reported as follows on today’s striper fishing:

“Miss Belmar Princess had really good fishing today with JUMBO STRIPERS up to 46lbs! Beautiful flat calm ocean today with PLENTY of ACTION all day! All action today was on live bunkers. Todays high hook had 7 JUMBOS which were all safely released. We also saw HUMPBACK WHALES, GIANT BLUEFIN TUNA and THRESHER SHARKS blowing up the baits today! Tomorrow’s weather looks great, join us for your Trophy STRIPER!”

Capt. Ron Santee said he got into “unreal” bait with fish breaking on it early, and also did well with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands in the afternoon. Dereck had the day’s monster at 53 inches and 40 pounds. Scott Scuderi was high hook with eight up to 25 pounds, which included a keeper and a bonus bass. Despite the abundance, the bass were hard to catch as they were on peanut bunkers — and Santee had to run & gun to stay on them.

Vinny D’Anton only heard of one school striper taken on a swimming plug in the Monmouth County surf this morning, but that fishing is bound to break open any day.

The forecast is perfect – northeast at just 5 knots before going southwest in the afternoon.
