Outback striper action is heating up throughout the Garden State, and with temperatures expected into the upper 50s near 60 over the next four days you can expect more solid reports as participation increases. We run down the latest reports on striped bass, white perch and winter flounder from south along the Delaware to the northern spots along the Raritan and Hackensack. While Friday marks the first official day of spring, the winter show season continues this weekend with sales events and seminars in Point Pleasant, Ramsey, Frenchtown, Strathmere and Morrisville, PA. We also announce our show winners from Edison this past week for “members only” gear from Sterling Tackle and Quantum, George has your freshwater rundown with the latest news on shad, Capt. Benn features a Jersey crew out of Quepos in Costa Rica this week, plus don’t forget about the March 26th meeting of the New Jersey Marine Fisheries Council in Manahawkin where black sea bass regulations will get finalized for the 2026 season.
