Pier 47 Marina

November 02, 2026 - 10:29:19

Local sharpies fishing the skinny back bay creeks (in as little as 4 feet of water) are reporting good catches of stripers according to the crew at Pier 47 Marina. The bite has been mostly at night and right at dawn and dusk, especially on the higher tides. The higher tides after this week’s full moon have been pushing bait up onto the flooded sod banks, and as the tide recedes, the stripers are lying in wait. Fishing tight to the sod banks with soft plastics like jerk baits or 4-inch shads have been taking fish from 18 to 33 inches. The daytime bite in the same areas has been “hit or miss”, but that nighttime action has been consistent all week. The back bays are also seeing plenty of tog being caught from the bridges on green crabs and sandfleas.
