Fin-S worms, mostly bubble gum, do the most damage. Fisherman's Headquarters in Ship Bottom said smaller weakfish were caught under the Causeway Bridge at night closer to Long Beach Island. Anchor up in a channel with a chum pot and catch some nice blowfish. Striper action in the surf is steady, not great. Try mid-island in the daylight and the beach at Barnegat Light at night.
Fresh clams are the way to go.
Bloodworms work too, but the calico crabs are making short work of them. A few bluefish have been caught in the surf on plugs and mackerel strips. The headboats out of Barnegat Light are still scoring on blackfish.
