Smaller stripers are scattered throughout the surf, tog fishing is best for anglers dissecting small structure, and the bluefin bite wraps

Repetition is the key to learning – but you don’t want to suck the joy out of it. To me, sketching has become more than just a means to an end

Prior to the storm, stripers took sand-eel imitations in the surf, double-digit tog were chewing, and bluefin tuna were caught on the troll.

Stripers take diamond jigs and flutter spoons while the surf bite slows, tog fishing is hit or miss out front, and bluefin tuna smash ballyhoo and big paddletails in close.

Tog fishing has been hit or miss and the surf has scattered striper action as bass move slightly offshore, where bluefin tuna are taking trolled ballyhoos.

Stripers push south through the surf of IBSP, tautog fishing has been inconsistent, and bluefin tuna take paddletails and trolled ballyhoo close to the beaches.

Stripers and gator blues feed on bunker and sand eels in the surf, Raritan Bay hosts a solid bass bite, and tog fishing is better around the jetties and inlets than the wrecks.

Stripers blitz on sand eels, peanuts and adult bunker along the beaches and tog are caught from the jetties to the wrecks as the 5-fish blackfish limit begins.

Stripers and bluefish storm the surf chasing peanut and adult bunker, and big sea bass are caught on bottom in this week's Northern New Jersey Fishing Report.

Bass to 40 pounds hit swim shads, poppers and swimming plugs in the surf, bluefin tuna crash bunker schools near shore, and scup and sea bass are plentiful around the wrecks.
