Sporty conditions made fishing tough this week, but some striped bass were caught near the 3 mile line while the reefs gave up decent tautog.

Striped bass crush swim shads, pencil poppers and bucktails in the surf, but tautog fishing slows with heavy winds limiting anglers to shore.

Striped bass continue to crush topwaters, bucktails and more along the beaches, while tautog fishing has been slow and steady on the wrecks.

The weekend saw an explosion of slot-sized stripers on peanut and adult bunker, and tautog fishing has been excellent at the inshore wrecks.

Opening day tautog saw shoddy conditions and tough fishing, and the striper bite held strong in the back bays as dogfish flood the beaches.
