NJ Fishing Locations Reviews / Early Season Fishing Observations
« Last post by ped579 on March 20, 2023, 06:26:55 PM »
As we make our way through March the weather pretty much has been cooperating and letting anglers out and catching early.  The Toms River has been producing small schoolie Stripers all along its shore line.  Along with the Stripers the White Perch have been giving anglers a fill in when the stripers have lock jaw.  If you can find moving water of the brackish kine there you will find the White Perch. 

Small hooks or jigs are the ticket to landing these little tid bits.  Blood worms seem to be the bait of choice but watch out you might land a small Striper or two.  The prized fish are all over the Toms River with a large amount starting to move out into the bay.  If you have your boat in the water already try along the Mathis or Tunny bridges as I have heard they are congregating along the pillars.  All the usual baits are fair game right now but many are being caught with 4" to 6" twitch baits or poppers. 

Not much talk about the blues yet but I would keep a few bucktail jigs handy with white curly tails handy.  They won't be far behind.  I know it is early usual May is the Spring run for the yellow eyed monsters.  But the waters are warming up pretty quickly now as the ocean temps are already in the low 40's.

I am looking for a good year this year as I am back and although the beach is out for me right now I will be making my way around the bay and reporting on any activity this ole guy can hear and pass it onto all of you.

I will let you know what happens on Wednesday when I will have my grandson out again.

Oh yeah all the usual Bait & Tackle Shops are all geared up for the season so make your way over to your favorite shop and help keep them in business.  There are many reasons NOT to go to big named stores.  I look at it this way the small mom and pop shops if frequented often by you will remember you and begin to give you that good fishing report you usually could never have received from that big store.

Good Luck to everyone this season.  See you around the edges...

Hi Rod.  We have been back a few times and it is one of our favorite places on earth.  Especially for fishing.  But we have not been back in a couple of years.  But that is okay.

I have a new focus and that is to teach my 6 year old grandson fishing tactics.  He is doing pretty good in the casting category but I showed him how blood worms can attach it freaked him out.  LOL.  But that was Saturday and he keeps asking when we are going out again. It looks like that might be Wednesday.  This time I will bring more of my stuff and see if we can latch onto a Striper or two.

Looking forward to post more starting this year with more shore fishing reports, tactics and fishing lure choices.

NJ Fishing Locations Reviews / Getting back out again
« Last post by ped579 on March 20, 2023, 04:17:47 PM »
Hi everyone.  It has been a long time for me to hit the salt.  With all my old aches and pains and not to go into any details here but It has been a rough few years.  Right now the surf is not my friend so I am now allocated to fish from piers and the shore of the bay and rivers. That is okay so now I have to shift my thinking. 

I have started to teach the next generation of fisherman, my grandson turned 6 so we had him out on the Toms River up by the park in South Toms River.  We were targeting White Perch no luck but he did see and experienced the catching of a couple Striped Bass by someone about 20 feet from us.  Pretty cool.  Next time out (Wednesday) I will be bringing out my equipment and have him try to see if we can do the catching and not just the watching.

It is a NEW season and I hope to be posting a lot more.   slt

Well this is a pleasant surprise to see so many old regulars posting.  I have a new roll this year.  Grand Pa.  My grand son is 6 now and very eager to get out.  Had him out Saturday in the Toms River.  Did not catch anything but he saw stripers being caught and now can not wait to go again.  We are going to try this Wednesday at the top of the river at the park in South Toms River.  Wish us luck.
