Stripers and bluefish are back in numbers and size too. Yesterday all boats out of Bahrs Marina had their limits on striped bass. Both clam bellies and bunker seem to be working equally well. Old Orchard Channel, Roamer Shoals and Shrewsbury Rocks are producing. Seems that the bigger fish are being taken at the Rocks live lining.

Fluke Season starts in 9 days May 24 and there are some early indications that there will be some big flatties to keep like last year. Make sure to know the new regulations. http://www.state.nj.us/dep/fgw/pdf/2008/maregsum08_color.pdf

Even cocktail blues are now in the river. My friend took a lunch break and took a ride up the Navesink during the week . Just on the west side of the Oceanic Bridge he threw out a metal lure, let it sink to the bottom and gave it a fast retrieve. There was nothing breaking on the water, no birds around. As he got the metal close to the boat, he could see a pack of blues chasing it. Soon he had a pail full of tasty small blues for dinner. He was back to the dock in less than an hour!
