The Jamaica II from Brielle reported finding a few "nice" cod on every wreck fished Saturday, along with lots of ocean pout plus some sea bass, porgies and ling. They'll be sailing for cod every Saturday all winter at 3 a.m.
Keep in mind the fact that the sea bass season closes on Jan. 1.
Grumpy's Tackle in Seaside Park reports there's been a good bite of small stripers in the surf on teasers plus small plugs and metals. That shop's Polar Bear Bass Tournament starts on New Year's Day and runs to April Fools Day. The fee is $10 for a shot at a $300 Grumpy gift card.
