Headboats sneak out for blackfish and cod when conditions permit, while other anglers pursue white perch, crappie and freshwater bass.
The blackfish bite was decent prior to the cold front, but high winds, highs seas and high flows in the rivers have hindered fishing participation.
A few stripers linger in the surf, the ponds are fishing well for bass, perch and crappie, and tautog fishing was productive prior to the windy conditions.
The blackfish bite has been decent, with fewer, but bigger fish being landed; still, the best fishing this week is in the freshwater ponds and reservoirs.
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.
