Nick at The Reel Seat said bluefish are beginning to show up with their first run in the river, as well as some bass. Striper action in the bay is starting to heat up with folks getting them primarily on worms, but the lure bite is getting better. Blackfish action was red hot heading into the final days of the April opening. The big news on April 20th was the first bluefin of the season weighed in at 718 pounds out of Brielle.

Ted at the Reel Seat said blackfish action is picking up but was a little slow this week due to the cold water. Next week the action should get better with warmer weather moving in. Striper action in the Raritan remains great. Anglers are killing it in the bay. A couple of small stripers have been reported in and around the inlet, but more fish are moving in from the Raritan. Cod fishing remains decent. Tilefish trips should be starting soon so look for local boats if interested.
