A little fog, but plenty of bass

Just as predicted yesterday, striper fishing in NY/NJ Bight was a pleasure today without the crowds.

Capt. Ron Santee of the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands noted:

“After a weekend from Hell it was good to be back on the meat!!!

Little fog this morning had us in stealth mode finding the bunkers…Couple beauties with Dave landing a Monster at 48 inches. Nice mix of fish from keepers to Bonus fish with a bunch of overs.

Several times we had white water around the boat, was fun watching Eric the Morgage man work that Plug. Fish knocking it right out of the water then coming back to attack it again. Weather is perfect for Bass fishing all week….don’t miss out like today!!!“

The Fishermen is chartered. on Saturday,

The Queen Mary from Point Pleasant switched to porgies on Saturday as a charter party loaded up — before returning to hot striper action Sunday with mostly overs from 32-38 inches and some keepers as swim shads of 6-9 inches worked along with live bunkers.

A small craft advisory goes up at 7 p.m. to late night. Tuesday starts with north winds at 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20 before diminishing to northeast 5-10 in the afternoon,
