With wind and cold in the forecast, there probably won't be much fishing on Tuesday, but there might be a window of opportunity Wednesday morning in between strong north winds and the switch to a gusty southeast that afternoon.
Monday morning turned out better than expected, which worked out well for Scott Kaelin of Parlin who checked into the Tackle Box in Highlands with a 27-pound striper he trolled in Raritan Bay. He caught two dozen bass on plastic shads, mojos and plugs.
