by Vinny D’Anton found no stripers yesterday morning in the Monmouth County surf, but had good action with medium-sized blues. Blind casting with a Chug Bug brought the blues up. Unfortunately, surf stripers remain hard to come by. Vinny and Frank Manzi gave sand fleas a good try one day last week. There were plenty of bugs to be raked, but no hits on them. It’s just a question of time before that fishery breaks open as the surf remains cold.
Kil Song reports “I fished weakfish on the Hamton Lady out of LI
.I read they catch many weakfish on the boat and I missed weakfish so long. I used Kil R Rig with sand eel style Gulp which I bought for fluking. I know Kil R Rig is working for weakfish as I caught many big 10 plus lb weakfish with the Rig in Bay Ridge Flat in front of Statue of Liberty years ago.
Finally I got a baby weakfish. 
Back to fluking on next trip.”
