Capt. John Contello of Just Sayin from Highlands summed up the striper fishing as follows :
“All Bass with a few Jumbo blues mixed in. 60 Feet thick for a 4+ mile stretch. Population looks strong here! Mix of fish 20-40” – Friday is booked** Text 732-670-1919 for availability”
The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported “
STRIPER SEASON HAS BEEN PHENOMENAL AND TODAY’S ACTION MATCHED THAT AND THEN SOME! The bite started as soon as we got to the fishing grounds and continued through the day. They just kept coming over the rail. The boat was limited out early with KEEPERS and SLOT FISH and we were in catch and release mode. Everyone went home with fish and had a great day of fishing.“

All reactions:
The forecast is for north winds at 10-15 knots before increasing to 15-20 in the afternoon with a slight chance of showers
For all the “bust ‘ years this is Striper year of the century. What other years were as good as this?
