    Posted on January 2, 2021 Still hope for surf stripers Though internal waters closed for striper fishing in N. J. on Jan. 1. In the past, before heading to Florida for the winter, I almost always caught surf stripers in N. J. well into January and often right to the end of the month though never in February even when I tried the very rare fishable day.

Chris Hueth of the Big Mohawk from Belmar had passed away from a heart attack. Matthews noted that only a few small stripers are still being caught in the local surf, and winter flounder fishing has been spotty at the the docks as the season winds down before closing on Jan. 1.
