Jay Bernack, Pell's Fish and Sport, reported red-hot bluefishing in the north end of Barnegat Bay. Anglers tossing small white or chrome popping plugs on either side of the Mantoloking Bridge are having a blast with 3 and 4 pounders. Stripers are feeding on clam baits in the Seaside Heights undertow, according to Bill Fisher, Sr. on the Casino Pier. Bluefishing continues sporadic between Point Beach and The Seasides. Striper fishing in the northern Ocean County suds excellent on clam baits.
Keepers are plentiful and weakfish are spicing the catches.
