The first day of spring and all signs are a go for striped bass and winter flounder this week at the Jersey Shore. Since coming down off the NJ Saltwater Fishing Expo this past weekend, natural indicators – spring peepers, bunker and herring, even diving gannets off the beach – reveal that we’re looking towards a terrific spring run in the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region. Jenni’s got a few of the Saltwater Fishing Expo viewer spotlights in Open Boat this week, Jim announces our Sterling Tackle winner from Edison this past week while running through some of the latest striped bass catches, and shad are popping up in the Delaware River at this point. Finally this week a look at some upcoming events, with “how to” clip from Dr. Adam Aguiar on making and storing your bloodworm bags for spring stripers from shore.
