Capt. Walter on the Fishfinder II said, “What a difference a week can make!” Anglers had a banner week virtually every day with striped bass east and west of the inlet, and right out front. Wednesday through Friday fares saw unbelievable jig action as the bass were feeding heavily on butterfish and sand eels. Saturday was slow, but the action bounced back Sunday. Anglers had fish almost every day to 40 pounds, with more and more slot fish showing as well. The nights are seeing good action using live eels on bass to 30 pounds.

Capt. Walter on the Fishfinder II reported the bass action was very tough this past week. The boat remained tied up for the better part. There are some bunker around, so the daytime bite could bounce back as the seas settle this coming week. The positive was the few night trips produced okay on live eels with fish to 25 pounds.
