Nice and at least your getting out there.

Raritan Bay striper fishing has been failry steady ....especially as I learn to to fish multi dimensionally - meaning sometimes the fish take plugs on top, other times Mo’s etc.

Didn’t see much life running he beach from Belmar to the hook - saw couple of party boats doing zip on some bunker pods.

Seems strange as the beaches so quiet ....just a few fish here and there and no large schools of blues

Guys were getting big fish on bunker off Deal this week.
I'm doing some in-water improvements to my Grady and haven't gotten out for stripers. I AM catching the crap out of shorts at my dock.

fished Manasquan river in 100yd visibility fog yesterday evening.
Caught some 4 pound bluefish for shark bait. Would have been nice if they were smaller but fillets make good baits too.

finally found a tilefish spot in Toms Canyon.
11 fish to 32 inches

had 1000 bluefin tuna taunt us for an hour east of The Fingers. They were jumping and laughing at us...no bites, tried everything...they were eating 1 inch rain fish .

There are a lot of BFT, from schoolies to giants, all along the 30 fathom line but the bites are sporadic.
