Sea bass season starts off with a bang, fluke and bluefish are chewing in the rivers, and cow stripers take metal lips and live bunker out front.

Bluefish storm the beaches and inlets, fluke begin to show in the rivers while tog fishing improves on the reefs, and bluefin tuna are caught within 12 miles of shore.

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.
