A few stripers linger in the surf, the ponds are fishing well for bass, perch and crappie, and tautog fishing was productive prior to the windy conditions.
The blackfish bite has been decent, with fewer, but bigger fish being landed; still, the best fishing this week is in the freshwater ponds and reservoirs.
Stripers take diamond jigs and flutter spoons while the surf bite slows, tog fishing is hit or miss out front, and bluefin tuna smash ballyhoo and big paddletails in close.
