Surf Striper Action Blowing Up!

This week of October 23, 2023, it’s going off somewhere at the Jersey Shore –just ask our weekly cover artists, Mickey “Deaner” Melchiondo (Ween) and Les Claypool (Primus) fishing with Ricky Donofrio (Jersey Shore Florist) just outside of Shark River this week. Big stripers (aka, buffalo) are on the run down the beaches chasing that moveable feast of bunker; the November edition of The Fisherman Magazine has it all scoped out, grab a copy while you enjoy this week’s report from the beach. Black sea bass action continues, and Jenni Ackerman has more on the tautog fishing, our weekly Dream Boat leaderboard update with Tim Smith and a trip out to the Poconos for our regional freshwater update. Finally this week, while NJDEP has been keeping the public information pipeline cut-off and mostly unavailable to prying public eyes, the industrial offshore wind developers at Orsted are freely informing the public about their plans for horizontal directional drilling at Island Beach State Park.
