Stripers

Going for striper this weekend. Any recomendations on gear, and if anyone been out, how was the bite?

If your fishing the Del. Bay. I have been out a couple of times and done nothing.I have marked very few fish. The weather is forcasted as nasty this weekend and the bay can get rough. The bay is full of bunker right now so you might want to "Match the Hatch" and try bunker chunkin or some have reported catching on clams. The bite should pick up next month for sure.

If the facts surrounding this fish are true, it weighed over ‎81.89 lbs pounds, and was caught on a closed section of a spawning ground, and released after this photo. If that's true, this guy deserves all the credit in the world for doing the right thing, as that fish would have obliterated the record. Greg Myerson would have been a footnote.

HOLY @#&%&%%^%$^*(*^$%^&$%^@#$%^&@#$#$#$%^&*#$% :shock: the record is like 90 something isnt it? I know before it was 78.9 lbs and by the way im going out of North Jersey, brielle to be exact.

Go a little North. I heard that they are biting about a mile off Shark River Inlet.

We actually went and caught a few, probably 3 miles off and probably 10-15 miles south of Brielle NJ
