Information : Got a late start Saturday. Ran down the bay from Point Pleasant and out Barnegate. Found stripers and blues,. under birds, in deeper water. Caught fish at a faster rate as the day went on. Again there were Belmar and Point head boats on the scene. Called it quits at 1 PM with our limit of bass, and an overall catch of 16 bass and about 40 blues, due to rising S/E winds and chop. Notes: Where is everybody. This is a great information source when more people submit reports. Except for Point charter boat reports no one is submitting from north of Spring Lake. If your fishing from the Rocks to the Rips please take the time. If you fish the beach, do the same thing. Anybody seen any bunker or peanut bunker? I haven't seen a school since the out of state netters raped the beaches in late September. All the fish we get are feeding on sand eels. Chunking from the boat or the beach is a waste of time. Anybody on the beach been involved in a blue fish blitz?

Information : Taking advantage of the weather we made one last trip to the Hudson. Arriving at the Elbow by 11:30 am under ideal conditions, we had our first yft on in less then 5 minutes and after a 45 minute fight we had a 125 lb yft in the boat. The next fish hit as soon as we could set back up, unfortunatly the 30TW with 50 lb test couldn't stop him. The next hook up almost resulted in the same scenario but after a 4 hour battle of backing down, chasing the fish, dealing with an overheated drag and passing the pole off between anglers at least 20 times we finally boated the 300 lb bluefin by 6:30pm. The fish was fought by only 2 anglers the entire time. There was no night or morning bight except for a 200 lb blue shark that we fought and released. All fish were caught on 60lb flouro carbon and 50lb test. The other 2 boats we fished with at the Elbow that afternoon had double digit catches of YFT's all over 100 + lbs. We should have broke the BFT off after the first hour but by then it became personal. We encountered acres of medium size BFT's on the ride home from 25 - 35 miles out of Manasquan, around Monster Ledge to the Glory Hole. We tried to troll everything by them but they would not hit a thing.

Specie: Striped Bass

Bait or Lure: shad and tube umbrellas
Water Depth: 50 to 70 feet
Water Temp.: 53 -54
Information : Thanksgiving morning was very slow for us, only one short striper in 2 hours of trolling around the range buoys...quit early to go home and enjoy the Turkey day. We did a better today, Fished off Seaside first, then off the Thunderbird and finished up off Manasquan Inlet. We kept 3 Stripers (32", 30" and one slot) and released 2 blues and 2 short stripers. The Stripers were hitting red tube umbrellas, and white shad rigs, but the biggest Striper of the day was caught on a neon green shad rig, with the center shad removed and replaced with a similar colored crippled alewife spoon on a 3 foot leader. No hits on the strech 25 today. By the way, I took a tip from the Fisherman Magazine and loaded up my trolling reels with Power Pro braided line...Wow! No need for wire. I'm bumping bottom with a 4 oz. drail on the umbrellas while trolling slow speed in 60 feet of water. (although you do need to have out about 150 yds of braided in order to get that deep) The 50 lb. test Power Pro is the same diameter as maybe 8 lb. test mono, so it CUTS through the water with minimal drag. The no stretch factor is great when the fish hit, solid hook ups every time...except when those pesky bluefish eat the tails off my shad rigs! Wow what a GORGEOUS day it was on the water today! Fishing in shirt sleeves at the end on Novebmber, and the water calm as a Lake! I was really tempted to run out to Monster Ledge and look for those Bluefin that have been seen poping up out there...but then again, why burn all that gas on a long-shot, when we have this fine Fall run going on right along the beach? :) Len Finest Kind

Information : Another fun day on the water with my son Bobby and nephew Kevin! Trolling white shad umbrella rigs, we boated 16 fish in a few hours. 12 were stripers, 4 were blues. There were many more missed strikes which must have been blues, as the tails of our shads were constantly being clipped off. Taking a cue from one of the posts I read here, I replaced the center shad with a white bunker spoon on one of the umbrella rigs. This setup produced the one 30" striper, which was hooked on the bunker spoon. We kept him and 3 of the slots. The others were released unharmed. Can't wait to get out there again! These fish have been around the mile marker buoy and the old range buoy numbers for two weeks now, I wonder how much longer this can last? Finest Kind comes out of the water on December 1st, gotta enjoy more of this while we can!

Information : For my last trip of the year, we decided to jig stripers first. we had a spotty pick of slot fish till 9:00 and then set up on a favorite piece for some bait drowning. It was "drop - n - lock" for a good 2 hours or so and we limited out with blacks, many quite nice... we didn't have to move once as all the fish were caught on the same single drop. Hit the dock by 1:30 after dodging some real idiots in the inlet (strong current was more than some could handle safely) I recommend getting some real training in piloting your boat this winter if you don't already have it... the rules of the road are for OUR safety. Have a great winter

Information : Went out in the evening (7:30 PM) just to see what was doing. Put out only one rig as I was alone. Trolled for about an hour and was not marking fish. Moved inshore (1 mile out) and hooked into something I was clearly not prepared for. The wire line reel lit up and as I picked up the pole it felt like I had snagged bottom.....that wasn't it. As I lifted the tip, the drag took off and it became apparant that this was NOT the bottom. I fought the fish for 45 minutes on 40 LB wire. Exhausted, I yanked hard on the pole and intentionally snapped the 60-LB leader line. I was just simply too exhausted to go on with it. It surfaced once during the fight, I saw the shad rig's, but it was night and I only saw the top of the fish.....and it was BIG. No clue what it was. Maybe a tuna inshore feeding at night? Pretty wild whatever it was. Exhausted, I headed for the dock.....and several scotch's.

Information : Craig and I got out there early on Sunday morning, before the wind started to kick up the ocean. We started to troll just south of the rocks and within 5 minutes picked up a 24" fish. At this point we thought this would be a great day, little did we know this was our only fish of the day. We trolled across the rocks and lost 3 rigs on the bottom, without another hit. With the wind kicking up from the N/NW we decided at 10:30 to "get out of Dodge" before it got too bad. We ran South to Manasquan where there was a fleet 1.5 to 2 miles almost due East of the inlet. Fished there, trolling the rigs left in our box, for another 1.5 hours without a hit. Saw a few stripers come over the rail of boats that were jigging, we tried that for a few minutes with no success. Dispite the lack of cooperation from the fish it was a good day to be on the water. Will try a few more times before packing it up for the long winter. Maybe one more canyon run???? November weather is crazy!!! It's time to hunt some ducks anyway. Tight lines>>>>>
