Hook House

Word from Hook House Bait & Tackle on Sunday afternoon was that some days are good, some days not so good, weather permitting. It’s really been about the wind, with a good northwest blow putting stripers in closer along the beach, better for surfcasters and also for the boaters. If you’re cruising the front beaches this week by boat, best bet has been livelining around bait schools, though some good jigging going on as well, with poppers scoring too. Still not cold enough for the Toms River and outer bay area in terms of stripers and perch, but the Hook House crew sees more fish setting up back there for the winter.
