Okay here we go... They are catching Perch and Stripers in the Toms River. According to Dennis at the Hook House on Rt 37, the bait of choice are blood worms. It might get crowded in most of the favorite places so be patient. Plus most private boats are not in the water yet so there are tons of guys using waders to get in the clear in some spots. It makes no difference, pick either side of the river.
If your looking for fresh clams they are not to be found and again according to Dennis most clamming boats are not even going our yet but most shops have salted clams.
Good luck guys it looks like we will be having an early season run watch out for late April it should be interesting. Get your gear ready here comes a new season.
