Great struiper bite

When one party boat reports a great early bite while another boat does the same later in the trip, it’s likely that everyone in NY/NJ Bight was happy today.

Capt. Ron Santee said the rain was over by 7 a,m, and fares on his Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands enjoyed an awesome striper bite of all sizes. The high hook caught 14. On the other hand, the Golden Eagle from Belmar had a slow start before holding stripers under the boat during long drifts.

The forecast is for northwest winds 10-15 knots plus gusts to 20 in the afternoon.
