Striped Bass Update - November 3rd
So many incoming questions about our striped friends :-)
The ocean run stripers are still far up North off of Monmouth County. Think Sandy Hook to Point Pleasant. In fact, one captain up there told me that it's hard to find a charter up there that isn't booked because the bite is so hot.
Water temps all along the Jersey Coast are still hovering around 61 degrees. I personally like the slow decline in water temps as I believe it leads to the bait and the stripers hugging the coast and moving slowly down on the migration. The long - range weather forecast does not show any dramatic cold - snaps or major storms. So, I think this pattern will continue.
Best guess is at least two more weeks til we see any action as far South as LBI and possibly Atlantic or Cape May Counties.
The river striper bite remains strong. It's very much driven by the tide so be sure to contact us first.
While we are waiting for them to arrive, I'll recommend the book in the photo. The author spent an Autumn making his way down the East Coast surf fishing with different anglers and learning different techniques. I'm partial to the section where he went sod bank fishing to learn the technique with yours truly ;-)
Soon, gang, soon.
