New Jersey Striper Action Heats Up

Indeed, the jumbos have arrived at the Jersey Shore as the fall run heats up along this end of the Striper Coast. Reports of striped bass by beach and boat, night and day, with blitz-like conditions beginning to materialize. Our report from the beaches of northern Ocean County doesn’t actually do justice to the amount of bunker in tight to the beach this Thursday morning just after sunrise, but striped bass reports continue to dominate headlines this week in the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region. Join us for a look at the weekend weather, an Open Boat trip chasing down bass and albies, and of course we’re back in black sea bass throughout the region for those looking to load the fish box. Free fishing day in New Jersey this Saturday to help cue up our weekly Pocono Outdoors Guy’s report, and wrapping things up this week with a jaded and cynical look at a new random angler survey in that essentially asks how much it would cost to get you to turn in your fishing gear in exchange for embracing the industrial offshore entertainment revolution.
