Fisherman's Den

Striped bass fishing was also the main topic when we spoke with our sources over at the Fisherman’s Den. Bass have been moving in and out of the inlet with the tides and some nice fish have been caught off the jetties, along with some keeper tog. Live eels have been the top striper getters, while green crabs have been doing the trick for the blackfish. Surfcasters have also been scoring some mixed size bass on eels and plugs.

To say it was a light week of fishing would be a colossal understatement, said sources at the Fisherman’s Den. A few die-hard fishermen tried their hand at fishing during the week just to say they fished, but came up empty we were told. The only fishing reports that came into the shop were of some tog being caught on green crabs at the Point Pleasant Canal and some bass and blues being taken on eels in the evening there. But they believe it’s a good bet that the tog fishing will pick up quickly on the jetty rocks when things calm down.
