Little Egg Inlet Striper Fishing

Inlet Striper Fishing

Saturday's fishing trip started early, 5:30 AM.  I wanted to give it our best shot at putting striper in the boat.  We headed towards Brigantine and trolled wreck inlet for about an hour.  The conditions were fantastic but the fish were not there.  I decided to move off a few miles and search for some bunker pods.  I did not have to travel too far before I was surrounded by acres of bunker.  I snagged a bunch of adult size bunker and transfered them into the live well.  After I filled the live well with bunker, I moved the towards off shore bars of Little Egg Inlet.  I rigged a couple of bunker slow trolled through the white water.  There were two other boats close by to me fishing in a similar manner.  I observed the first boat to my starboard get a knockdown and seconds later the boat to my starboard bow had a fish on.  Almost instantly, my large Star rod doubled over and the line was screaming of my reel.  FINALLY!!!!

After a grand fight, the fish was boated and weighed in at just under 24lbs.  As the bunker move into the area, the striper fishing will remain hot until at least mid July.
