Jack at Fishermen’s Supply in Point Pleasant said the stripers have been chewing both north and south of the inlet as adult bunker and sand eels are washing up south of the inlet. Tsunami eels and ava jigs are working better south as bunker imitations like Rigatoni soft baits are getting hit better north at Spring Lake and Sea Bright. Blackfishing is solid in the canal with keeper class fish hitting crabs.

Chris at Fishermen’s Supply reports terrific striped bass action right off the beach! Anglers are slamming good numbers of stripers, with sand eels being the irresistible meal of choice. While the yellowfin tuna bite is regrettably slowing, the bottom fishing scene remains robust. Anglers willing to run the distance are being rewarded with excellent hauls of sea bass and porgies. Closer to shore, the blackfish action is red hot, with fish aggressively feeding in the canals and inlets, as well as on the local reefs and wrecks.

Kyle from Fishermen’s Supply in Point Pleasant said it’s been a pick of bass in the suds with hardy anglers who put in some time finding a few. Everybody is waiting for them to push the bunker schools in with the large pods of bunker off Brick Beach and Asbury Park. Albies may just push into the Manasquan Inlet area this week so keep your metals on hand.

Chris at Fishermen’s Supply reports the offshore tuna bite is slowing, although bluefin are still being encountered closer to the inshore grounds. Meanwhile, the blackfish bite remains strong and consistent. Anglers are finding good porgy action on the local reefs, but the best sea bass keepers require steaming a considerable distance offshore. The migratory push is starting, with small numbers of albies and stripers making appearances. The bass are primarily focused on bunker and sand eels.
