Stripers and bluefish storm the surf chasing peanut and adult bunker, and big sea bass are caught on bottom in this week's Northern New Jersey Fishing Report.
Bass to 40 pounds hit swim shads, poppers and swimming plugs in the surf, bluefin tuna crash bunker schools near shore, and scup and sea bass are plentiful around the wrecks.
Fluke fishing holds strong after Hurricane Lee, stripers and bluefish are active in the surf, and anglers find albies and Spanish mackerel further offshore.
Fluke fishing slows in the surf as the storm approaches, albies and bonito are caught from beaches and jetties, and local rivers hold accessible fishing for stripers and cocktail blues.
