Anglers seeking the thrill of fighting a big striper have a perfect opportunity to do so now in NY/NJ Bight rather than having to look forward to the fall as used to be the case.

Chuck Many proves that every time he runs his Tyman from Highlands into the bight.

Lee Wakefield posted the following on Facebook: “Jumbos only on the Tyman! Fun times as always with our good friend Chuck! We had fish from 35-51lbs the other day! “

Capt. Ron Santee Jr. of the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands reports that the “First two drops this morning were drop & reel fishing with double headers and Big keeper Sea Bass.

Conditions were lousy as the current was running into the wind & up to the bow, still the Sea Bass were hungry. Bounced around a few more drops picking away all day. Everyone went home with plenty of meat and Charles took the pool with a nice 4 pound Fluke today.” The Fishermen is chartered on Saturday.

The forecast is for north winds at 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20 before dropping off to northwest at 10-15 in the afternoon.
