At One Stop Bait and Tackle in Atlantic City Noel brought word that the blackfish chew really got going on off the AC Jetty rocks as sand fleas were top baits to toss. Stripers have been hitting mainly during the nighttime hours. Look for the combo of bass and blackfish to keep running strong throughout the week.

Tog were chewing again on the AC Jetties just as soon as last weekend’s storm passed according to Noel at One Stop Bait and Tackle. Not only are there plenty of fish to be had, but much larger fish have moved in with keepers to 4 pounds caught on green crabs and sand fleas. Before, during and after that storm, the stripers were feeding heavily on all the baitfish that are migrating past Atlantic City. Hard and soft plastics fished at night have been taking stripers from schoolies to 33 inches, with plenty of fish falling in the keeper slot and bonus tag range. This week’s striper action bodes well for next weekend’s Casting for a Cure Striped Bass Tournament. Noel says that “this is more than a fishing tournament—it’s a community coming together to cast for hope, fight for a cure and fish for a brighter tomorrow”. The date is October 11th, see shop for details, but the day also includes giveaways, live music from Swing De Guille and a party-like community atmosphere.

Atlantic City got hit pretty good according to Noel of One Stop Bait and Tackle, but before the blow triggerfish, tog and bluefish were caught off the rocks. A lot more of the submerged rocky structure was unearthed this week, you may have more structure to fish now.

Flounder were being weighed in right up until Thursday, just one day shy of the season closure. Noel at One Stop Bait and Tackle tells us that this was the last fishable day this week before the winds and rains kicked up. Prior to the storm, not only were the flounder biting, but there were stripers, weakfish, tog, triggers, kingfish and croakers being caught from the jetties and beach. Mullet on the move have triggered a night bite for stripers and weakfish, with some very respectable size weakies to 23 inches. Soft plastics for the weakfish and hard plastics like SP Minnows have been producing stripers to 28 inches. Bluefish have been popping up in the inlet and along the jetties with anglers scoring on Mag Darters and SP Minnows. Kingfish and croakers were being caught in good numbers from the beach at the beginning of the week, while tog and some massive triggerfish were taken on sand fleas from the jetties.
