Stripers hot in Raritan Bay

As has been the case the last few days, stripers were on the feed today in Raritan Bay on both bait and lures plus trolling.

Party boat patrons will be able to get in on that tomorrow as the Golden Eagle from Belmar will be sailing at 7:30.

The forecast is for east winds at just 5-10 knots before going southeast in the afternoon. Saturday morning is also looking good.

Vinny Di Anton has heard that Monmouth County surfcasters have been picking school stripers and blues. He’s still fishing in Sarasota, where ladyfish, jacks and even flounder have been hitting the DOA Ahrimp — but snook have been scarce.
