by Vinny D’Anton raised a few cocktail blues to his Chug Bug in the Monmouth County surf this morning, but remains surprised at the lack of school stripers there as none of the regulars are catching them. Stripers should be gorging on sand fleas by this time, and those baits are abundant. Yet, Vinny can’t get a bite on them despite perfect conditions. A switch to fluke on Gulp was a lot more productive even though there wasn’t an 18-incher among them.
Capt. Frank Masseria of Vitamin Sea from Leonardo has been out of action due to a reaction from a medication, but his crew has continued to do well with the Raritan Bay stripers.
