Well the beach is quiet for the most part. All the action is in the rivers and bays so far. Is it early yes it is but that is a good sign. Stripers being caught in the Toms River (9 yesterday alone) along with white perch. The bait de jour is blood worms and all the shops have all the bait you want, except clams it will be a short time as the boats are not going our and one that was just bought is being refitted. But, most shops have salted clams.
Start getting out and have fun. I will try to get out and take some pictures and videos.
