D.C.-area medical professionals are raising the awareness of prediabetes, which 1 in 3 Americans have, and many of them may not even know it.

A few surfcasters are quietly finding bass in the south Jersey surf, tog fishing is decent, and freshwater anglers enjoy trout and bass action.

The blackfish bite is decent but unreliable through wind and arctic temperatures, and a few striped bass linger in the bays before the season ends.

Good fishing for tautog and black sea bass keep boats running through the cold, and stripers actively feed in the surf when the sun is down.

Surfcasters wait for the beach bite to rebound, tog fishing is consistent through shoddy conditions, and a few bluefin tuna show up offshore.

The striped bass bite slowed slightly on the beaches, meanwhile, limits of bigger tautog were caught around local reefs and wrecks.

The surf is littered with striped bass of all sizes on peanut bunker, and tautog fishing is strong around inlets and reefs.

Tautog fishing is tough but bountiful on opening day of the 5-fish limit, and spectacular striper fishing continues to drop the jaws of seasoned anglers.

Over-slot stripers are crashing on bunker pods, blackfishing is good around reefs and wrecks, and the yellowfin bite slows offshore.

Tautog fishing remains productive and stripers pack into Raritan Bay, while yellowfin and bigeye tuna crush live baits offshore.
