True World Tackle

We started off this week’s report with a call to Akira over at True World Tackle. He told us striper fishing remained very good in New York Harbor and the backwaters of Raritan Bay. He also mentioned some bluefish mixing in with the bass and said a few were also caught by anglers fishing off the piers in the harbor and lower Hudson River. Cut and live bunker and bloodworms were the top baits and anglers also scored fish trolling and casting plugs and jig tipped with plastics. The first reports on the fluke fishing showed very limited action with a few decent fish pullered from the channel edges and shallow areas. The shop also got word of some fluke being taken this past week mainly at the mouth of Raritan Bay and just inside the bay.

We started this week’s report with some good news from Akira over at True World Tackle. On the fishing front Akira told us the fishing in New York Harbor and along the lower Hudson River was very good this past week with a good bite of mixed size stripers being caught off the piers and on the boats that braved the winds and fished. In addition he said bluefish also chopped up some baits and lures this past week as well. The other good news is that new owners have been found for True World. While he could not tell me anything more on the shop, he said the changeover will take place in a couple of weeks.
