Went out of atlantic highlands today and did a excellent job caught 3 gorgeous bass up to 36 1/2 inchs and my girlfriend caught her first ever bass at 34 1/2 inches. great day  out. people should head out there its hot fishing now. All fish today were caught on Diamond jigs, Deadly Dicks, krocidials, and large spoons. great stuff gorgeous weather couldnt ask for a better day

Next Sunday, late afternoon, we have a 6 man 1/2 day charter for Stripers. I hope to get my 25 lber next week. Then all I need the rest of the year is a 25 lb. Muskie and 25 lb Salmon to make my trifecta goal. The only thing that may prevent us from going out is weather otherwise some pics will follow the trip.

Good luck Mr. Galore.  So, as I read this, you have nada for your trifecta.    Same here.  Good luck on the assault.

Some of the Gillrippers went out today....partial report here!
31" er on clams earlier today. Maybe 15 lbs.

[fishgalore]

33" er here! And a bunch of keepers. 5 guys went out today on their buds boat 6 tomorrow on a private charter.



6 keepers

[fishgalore]

Well we slammed the Blues on Sunday and then landed 2 Stripers, one was a keeper at 28 1/2" my 1st ever.

We caught about 30 Blues on both bunker and clams. I got maybe a dozen and lost another 8 or so. Steel leaders were required!! Then we moved about 7:20 pm to another spot and landed 2 Stripers and 1 Blue all on clams only. One was a shorty about 24" the other a keeper. Guess my 25 lber will be another time but fun none the less.

According to Orvis fishing in the NY Harbor and Raritan Bay is "excellent" right now. Stripers, Bluefin (offshore?) and Blues on the fly. Of course other methods will work too!! If you have the means to get out on the saltwater do it as that is where good action will be found!!
