:confused: So it's almost the fall season for striped bass and unfortunately for me it's the most difficult fish to catch. I have been promising my son for years I would get him into the stripers but every weekend they elude me and make me break a promise. I'm actually chartering a boat this weekend with a well known captain to teach me what I'm doing wrong and technique to use when going for bass. If anyone wants to chime in and throw me a bone I could really, really use help. I hail from Morgan and fish the raritan bay and sandy hook area. Not sure why but i can catch any other species but this one. If you see a 275 aquasport explorer out their with plain white outboard cowlings that's me, trying to find the bass!!! :confused:

There are schoolies taking Yo Zuris (black and silver) at higher tides in the sedges at the confluence of the Navesink and Shrewsbury rivers.
Lots of fun on light tackle.
