N.J. fall striper run may be starting

The overdue fall run of migrating stripers down the Jersey Shore may be underway.

Vinny D’Anton didn’t catch anything in the Monmouth County surf this morning, but he did see quantities of adult bunkers well beyond casting range. Boaters were fishing on them, but I haven’t received any reports so far. With continuing west winds and cooler night temperatures, the table is set.

This photo from Capt. Joe Massa’s bluefin tuna trip with Capt. Vito Manzi out of Manasquan Inlet didn’t make it into yesterday’s blog.
