The BLUES were in the 6 to 10lb range and all the fish were caught on Run Off Croc's and Hammer jigs. It seemed like the Croc's had a slight edge over the Hammer jigs today.
It started off slow with shorts and a few keepers coming up but by the afternoon, the blackfish bit good and we wound up with a decent catch. Today, we had good action on shorts but the keeper ratio was not there.
Your chances of catching one are best at the Keys bridges, where tarpon are common and I rarely run into another angler fishing for them, but the striper of your dreams could also be swimming under a local bridge. Striper fishing has been spotty in Raritan Bay, but bluefish weren't an interference when I fished Sunday with Chuck Many of Annandale on his Ty Man from Gateway Marina in Highlands along with Nellie Greer of Bethlehem, Pa. as we released nine stripers in the bay and Hudson River.
It looks like this northeast wind raw damp pattern will hold through Saturday. Togging closes up on Saturday, but we are hoping to be in the bay striper fishing on Sunday.
Atlantic Highlands stripe bass fishing April 27 27 April 2016 Capt. Tom Made both morning and afternoon trips today. The morning trip only saw a couple of blue fish but no stripe bass.
A couple of the spots we fished had decent life on them with a couple of others having no bites at all. A few fish were caught on the green crabs but with the clams producing most of the fish.
