Reports from up the Navesink are still coming in. Late night striper fishing is where it is at. Big bass swirling on pods of bunker. Last night oin the Rumson Oceanic Bridge were keepers all over the sidewalk. Last weekend winds forced most guys to pull plugs in the Reach Channel. A few bass were taken but mostly blues.

I just saw some guys cleaning for the dinner table, 6-7lb weakfish on the docks. They said that they picked them up on peanut bunkers just south of the Sandy Hook Rip.

Bluefish action is the word in the bay. 7-10 lbs popping up in places like Roamer Shoals and the reach channel.

"JUST ONE MORE" FISHING REPORT, 5/4/08

The striped bass fishing broke wide open on Friday. First on Thursday, we had out the Steve Skesavage charter. They land striped bass to a high of 33" and all the bluefish you could handle. Friday, the fishing really broke open. We had out the Bill Stephens charter from New Century Transportation. After a slow start in hugh swells, we made a move and set up for the outgoing tide. The chum started working and we quickly had on bluefish. Then the stripers started to hit. Nice clean big fish with some throwbacks. We landed a full limit with the largest at 34.5" and 20 lbs. !!
