Started with checking out my regular spots and all of them were overcrowded for my liking. Aside from that, didn't see anyone catching. Moved on down to sandy hook but was 9pm already so I didn't want to lug everything out and back within the hour (I don't have their fishing permit). moved on down to Asbury park and tossed some iron on the jetty along with about 12 other guys but still nothing. Picked up and moved down to manasquan inlet. It's summer, so of course the lot is filled. same story as the previous spots. lots of people fishing, no one catching. Called it a night around midnight. Gonna head 1000' north of my front door. got reports of good resident striper action in the Raritan river which I have never heard in my 33 years of existence.
