Got an invite to fish with friend and neighbor Russ on his center console docked in Waretown. We were greeted by a flat calm seas as we left Barnegat inlet just after 7AM. North to off the bathing beach pavillion to swirling bass and birds. It wasn't fast fishing but over the next few hours we each caught about a dozen stripers with a keeper a piece. Some of the fish were 27 3/4". All caught on jigs. Bouncing bottom and occasionally reeling up half way produced our best results even though we could see the fish on top. 2-3 oz plain jig no tail with a hammered finish did the job today. Pics to follow.
