Double-digit tog are caught around reef and wreck sites, stripers take jigs and live bait in open water, and the surf bite slows while white perch fishing heats up in the backwaters.
Tog fishing has been hit or miss and the surf has scattered striper action as bass move slightly offshore, where bluefin tuna are taking trolled ballyhoos.
Stripers push south through the surf of IBSP, tautog fishing has been inconsistent, and bluefin tuna take paddletails and trolled ballyhoo close to the beaches.
Stripers and gator blues feed on bunker and sand eels in the surf, Raritan Bay hosts a solid bass bite, and tog fishing is better around the jetties and inlets than the wrecks.
