Posted on November 20, 2020 Mixed results on stripers in SW wind The Golden Eagle from Belmar reported that the weatherman was right about today being sunny and warm but the southwest wind blew a lot harder than expected. They did get a few slots and a couple of bigger bass up to 36 inches.
Jerry Lasko said he got into a mini-blitz on an Ocean County beach yesterday morning as stripers were working on bunkers larger than peanuts and smaller than adults. Nick Honachefsky went back to the beach in the evening to release 33 from 24-29 inches on a black Bomber and was into them again this morning.

Posted on November 16, 2020 Switch to west winds should knock down seas Though the gale warning continues into the morning, the switch to west winds should knock down big seas and make fishing possible on the opening day of the blackfish season as the limit goes up to five at a 15-inch minimum. West winds will be 20-25 knots with gusts to 30.
