Fin-Atics

The crew at Fin-Atics reported that boaters fishing off of Longport down to Cape May found some great striper action recently. The fish finally moved down from north jersey and are giving South Jersey anglers a shot at a very late “fall” run. Many anglers are still reporting that these fish are all “overs” and they haven’t been able to keep a single fish. This might be an indication that more fish are still to come and this fall run will be more aptly named “the New Year’s Run”.

Fin-Atics reports that the bigger boats fishing the offshore wrecks this week “cleaned up” on the tog grounds. Fish to 7 pounds were reported and many anglers had limits, or were just a fish or two shy of a limit in a few hours. Green crabs and white leggers both worked, but the bigger fish seemed to be falling for either bait if tipping a tog jig. Tog action inshore slowed down dramatically, but there are still some fish to be had, including keepers for persistent anglers.
