NJ / NY fishing 2022
 

Raritan Bay stripers, then Seabass, then fluke, then assorted …..

Raritan bay,,,,,,first stripers then blue fish then fluke all in the bay.
Bluefish on Mother's Day.

Raritan Bay - one of the best for Stripers and big ones, never got skunked. Here in NY, April 1, it's Flounder, Black fish. April15, Stripers and then those yellow eyed demons show up. No Fluke until May 4, Sea Bass, not until the end of June.

Spotty to good striper reports from Raritan so far ……

Have any idea what the water temp is?

I don't know what the temperature is but I do know they are doing very good striper fishing.
My son and I know a bunch of people who have a charter in that area and are doing very very good, I also know of a place where they are killing the stripers off of land and been catching them all winter but I can't tell you, my son would I'll me lol
Now is the time to go for stripers.

Thanks Step …..intell suggests bite dropped off this past 5 days or so.
Will see how it is after all this rain ends by Friday am ….

May do a 1st trip Saturday , or not . That’s the benefit of still having my own boat
