Last day of Summer and now the real fishing begins! Weakies are holding in at the Oceanic and the Channel Club Channel. Worms and and green gulpbait working for the small guys. We had 10 keepers in an hour on the outgoing tide. I had reports of them piled up at the Navoo Marina in the Shrewsbury. I might try there in the morning. Peanut bunkers are starting to move into the rivers bringing the bass and big blues. We have been hammering the 10-12lb fish under the Highlands Bridge while dodging the construction bages cranes and tugs. I don't know how the hard hats can work while we consistantly pull feisty blues over the rail and in the pail!
Today I saw my friend, who will remain nameless, pull in bass after bass under the bridge. Even among the heavy Sunday boat traffic, he and another landed 32 stripers 4 keepers and some blues. They tagged some and kept one keeper. They were using live peanuts and when they ran out switched to worms.
