Get on Jersey stripers before weather turns

There was no problem catching NY/NJ Bight stripers today, and Tuesday also looks good before bad weather may be a problem. Capt. Ron Santee Jr. of the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands reported as follows: “Not the Hot fishing of the past couple of days but certainly good enough for everyone aboard. I always like it better when the guys actually have to fish for them!

Did have a couple drifts where the action was excellent then we went into search and catch mode. Sailing tomorrow, taking a pass on Wednesday and most likely Thursday. South with gust to 30 is not my idea of fun Striper fishing. Will see how the weekend goes, may be playing Sinatra on Sunday afternoon. (And now, the end is near) for Joey! LOL “

The Golden Eagle didn’t have to go anywhere for stripers as they were up and biting right outside Shark River Inlet as that Belmar boat limited with keepers and Bonus Bass during long drifts in surfacing fish.

Vinny D’Anton didn’t have any positive results from his Jersey Shore surf crew this morning, which may have been due to the south wind.

The forecast is for east winds at just 5-10 knots before switching to southeast in the afternoon with a slight chance of rain and fog.
