by Though there have been days of great striper fishing in NY/NJ Bight this fall, there has usually been a “big” problem in that almost all were too large to keep. Dave Lilly reports that wasn’t the case this morning in Raritan Bay as the surface was covered with bass of legal sizes . They only kept two of over 30 caught before leaving them biting at 10:30 — and those two had nothing in them. Birds seemed to be picking up tiny bait of some kind. The bass wouldn’t hit anything large, but a switch to 5-inch shads did the job.
Famed saltwater fly angler and innovator Bob Popovics wasn’t able to recover from being hit by a car recently, and has been transferred to hospice care.
