by Though striper results in NY/NJ Bight have been up and down, there have been several reports this week about red hot action with live bunkers which often take more time to net than is normally the case at this time.
Capt. Frank Massereia of Vitamin Sea at Keyport reported this week “
Had Steve and the Milford gang on board this afternoon. The boys must’ve brought some western luck with them because we saw a great improvement from the recent fishing we’ve been having. Started the trip off with loading the net with all the bait we needed in one throw and the guys went to work.
All the fish came in flurries with several double and triple headers and they were all JUMBOS. Fish from 40” to 47” with an odd keeper mixed in. All in all a great trip with a great crew.”
Frank reported for today as follows:”
Great live line bite this morning for our open boat guys that included Capt Art of Wild Bills fishing from Keywest Florida.
Even caught a bunch on poppers. Beautiful morning with little wind, very little rain and flat water.”
Betty & Nick’s Tackle in Seaside Park reported jumbo blues are now hitting poppers in Barnegat Inlet, the surf and the bay.
Matt Calabria’s cast net full of bunkers almost ensures a good day of striper action on Capt. John Contello’s Just Sayin
