Ready for stripers

It will take a few days to recover from the storm, but anglers will be looking for a start to the fall striper migration

The storm has been destructive, but there are better days ahead,

There was good news from Betty & Nick’s Tackle in Seaside Park as they reported cuts in the beach due to the huge waves — but no street flooding at all.

Capt. Ron Santee would have liked to return to bottom fishing with his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands, but suspects the huge swell will make that sport a gamble for days to come. Therefore, he’s switching to striped bass on Thursday with a 7 a.m. departure. The fare is $90.

Though the storm warning will be coming down, the remaining big swell will require caution at inlets and on the beaches.
