Raritan Bay stripers building up

Capt. Vinny Vetere of Katfish at Great Kills joined Capt. Joe Massa on My Three Sons from Morgan Marina on Friday as they marked lots of stripers in the rivers though they were not biting well. About a dozen up to 33 inches were caught. Massa said he water temperature started at 48 degrees, and went over 50 on the outgoing tide.

Though a small craft advisory is up through Tuesday afternoon, the forecast is for only north winds at 5 knots before going south in the afternoon. Drizzle, rain and fog are all possible.
