Phil of the Tackle Box in Hazlet said right after the nor’easter a wave of 40- to 50-inch bass pushed into the Raritan Bay and were hitting in spots like South Amboy and Keansburg Pier as live eels, shads and plugs found their mark on the big cows. Those fish should be spilling out along Sandy hook down to Sea Bright this week.

Fishing planer boards, glide lures and live eels are taking some impressive striped bass cited Phil over at the Tackle Box. Some of the best fishing has been in the evening by the light of the moon, he said. The fishing started breaking open early in the week as fishermen slowly started getting back on the water after the blow. Some good reports of big bass being caught off the northern part of the Shrewsbury Rocks on eels was also heard. In addition he mentioned good reports on the sea bass fishing were also heard as the week progressed.
