Hi Guys & Gals. Sorry for the late report, today was a big let down for many anglers fishing Island Beach State park. Many anglers were out hoping for at least some bluefish, never mind striper action, it just did not happen.
I would say we fished the Park from 10:30 AM till after dark, only catching searobin after sea robins. The ocean was clean, calm, holding with a 5 oz sinker. No bait to be seen at Island Beach till about I might say 7:30, all the sudden a huge school of mullet came flying by, card shop, ryan, Joe don & I witnessed , no fish on them, Joe manage to throw over the mullet getting a half bucket one throw.
Just as Don was pulling his line in to get ready to give up and call it a day, a 26" striper took his clam, he manage to bring it in and release it.
We drove from gillikins out to area 23, drove back out at area 7 spoke to many anglers who all but three said they had a few stripers, I would say on the beach today maybe 6 stripers were caught.
It was just a washed out day today. maybe tomorrow fishing might pick up, the school of mullet we saw was a pretty big school heading south, it would not surprise me if you have mullet in the pocket tomorrow.
9 1/2 hours on the beach today I did not see one bluefish or striper caught, if any thing happened I would say it was before and after dark.
Good Luck To All & Good Night. Guppie
