Matt at the Reel Seat said there is a solid striped bass bite along the beach. Matt said, “Saturday was a savage day for everyone casting out for some fish.” Sandy Hook down to Barnegat offered great action for boat anglers who caught well with bunker pods all around. The west wind pushed them tight to the beach, also giving surf anglers a better opportunity. Tog action has been good and fortunately, this coming week the season will opening to five fish per person. Inshore tuna are all around, go out and put some time in, you’ll find them, they are everywhere!

Christiano at the Reel Seat said striper action off the surf is getting much better. Saturday, peanut bunker were scattered out front and bass were all over them. A lot of fish are feeding on sand eels, more so north of the Manasquan inlet. If you head south past the Manasquan inlet, stripers are mostly feeding on bunker. Mixed in are some bluefin. A lot of tog are bending rods in the inlet. Sea bass are biting good off at the wrecks and it’s only improving.
