Raritan Bay Bass April 26 to 23 Pounds Thursday, 27 April 2017 13 02 Written by Capt. Derek Ran our open boat trip this afternoon.
The day started off slow, but by the end of the day the ling were biting and everyone went home with at least a few nice fatty Ling.
Raritan Bay party boats have had a very hard time catching stripers on bait, but Capt. Rob Semkewyc had better news from his Sea Hunter out of Atlantic Highlands on Thursday morning when he finally had a good bite of mostly 24-to-27-inch shorts along with some keepers up to a 41-inch, 25-pounder boated by Jerry Gracos of Toms River. Remember that virtually all stripers over 20 pounds are females, and those being caught in Raritan Bay are from the Hudson stock that's been providing us with fine fishing the last few years while the coastal migratory stock from the Chesapeake and Delaware bays has spotty.
