Shore on Memorial Day, and was limited out with 40-to-100-pounders by noon on his Hi Flier from Barnegat. The Jamaica from Brielle had many limits of sea bass plus ling on its daily 7 30 a. m. trip.

    Vinny D Anton broke the ice yesterday in his surf sand flea striper fishing with a 21-incher, and this morning he did the same thing in Shark River by releasing a couple of similar bass and a cocktail blue on his Chug Bug. Jin Louro fished the surf north of Spring Lake this morning to catch multiple short stripers and some small blues while casting the new Band of Anglers Hyperlastic Dartspin lure.

    That fishing has probably distracted attention from early season sharking, but South Jersey Marina in Cape May weighed two makos the weekend before last. Vinny D Anton of Wall opened up sand flea fishing for surf stripers last year on May 30.

    Jerry didn t get a hit in what he called the clearest waters he s ever seen in the park. The Golden Eagle from Belmar looked for blues and stripers but couldn t find either before switching to sea bass which produced catches up to limits plus ling, dogfish, ocean pout and a whiting.

    Posted on May 26, 2019May 26, 2019 Nice day slow fishing With a nice day on a holiday weekend, I expected to get a lot of reports but that wasn t the case. Some keepers were caught during periods of movement, but fishing wasn t up to yesterday s standard.

    Captain Gary Dugan of the Irish Jig says he is switching gears from stripers and drum fish to fluke and the great wreck fishing going on for black sea bass. He has heard of some good catches of big bass trolling off Island Beach State Park, but no word yet on snag and drop fishing with live bunker.

    Ocean trollers continue to pick a few big stripers, but the reports I got this morning from Capt. Bud Mc Arthur and Capt. Chris Di Stefano were negative along the northern Shore at that point. Anglers fishing the canal for stripers and blues have been catching large fluke for weeks.
