Hooking Up Anglers Since 2011.

However, the tides should be in our favor later in the week. Betty & Nick's in Seaside Park reports mullet were surfacing last night, and netters loaded up on that...
The wind moderated today, but the surf remained rough due to a big swell. Conditions were actually good for stripers except for the low tides at dawn and dusk. However, the tides should be in our favor later in the week. Betty & Nick's in Seaside Park reports mullet were surfacing last night, and netters loaded up on that bait as stripers were heard popping on them. Small blues were hitting mullet baits in the morning at Island Beach State Park.
I've been fishing structure north of Manasquan Inlet, and saw a couple of schoolies plugged this morning -- though I didn't get a hit on metal in the rough surf. I was back at it this evening to try a Bagley's Mullet plug, and managed two schoolies.

Capt. Ron Santee, of the Fishermen from Atlantic Highlands, reported the good news that his father, Capt. Ron Santee Sr., had a heart valve successfully implanted yesterday, and is well on the road to recovery. He tried for fluke for the first time in a week today, and found it no better than before. As a result, he's giving up the rest of the fluke season that runs to Sept. 25, and will switch to stripers on Sunday.
Anne Marie Steepy, formerly of Highlands, fished with her husband, Capt. Dick Steepy of Big PineKey, Fl. on the weekend to release a 50-pound sailfish. John Mosca, Matt Boyce and Tom McSorley from Elmwood Park were aboard to add dolphin, yellowtail snappers and grouper.
