Tautog fishing is hit or miss on the wreck and reef sites, stripers take bucktails and minnow plugs off the beaches, and midshore migrating bluefin are caught on jigs and poppers.
Stripers pile in along the ocean beaches, boats join the action jigging metals and swim shads, and bluefin tuna blitz beneath birds from 2 to 10 miles offshore.
Big bluefin tuna blitz on near-shore bunker pods, 20 to 40-inch stripers feed along the beaches and in the bays, and tautog season is off to a slow start around the wrecks.
Stripers take live bunker, flutter spoons and swim shads just off the beaches, tautog season kicks off, and sea bass, porgies and triggerfish are caught around the reef sites out front.
