Where do go for striper

[Mikew36]

Hey all,

My buddy and I are pretty much done this year as far as inland freshwater fishing. I heard the striper bite is really on this time of year.

I was curious as to how far upstream these fish are coming and what would be the best sport for them? He was suggesting Sandy Hook/Raritan bay area but if they are coming upstream is that too far out?

Thanks in advance for the help !!

They are literally everywhere now, upriver, downriver, bay, ocean.

easy way is to jump on a party boat or charter and hit raritan bay/hook area. if you wanna try yourself pick a river and hit it, they are scattered all around, its a right place right time sort of thing. stripers make their way many miles, for instance they are caught up past delaware water gap and those fish swam all the way up from barnegate bay, thats prob 100 miles thru the big D.

How about trying some landlocked striper fishing in pennsylvania.......I don't know where ya live but there are a few southeast pa lakes that are stocked yearly.

Why not plug the beach? They are up and the beach, just walk and cast till you find them.

Yeah, there are a few guys who specialize in catching stripers in the Northern reaches of the Delaware. I've seen them make some amazing catches.

Catfish anglers occasionally catch stripers at night up there, too.

I no longer fish at night up there because of all the bears prowling around in the dark.

Walk all the way up where the bay meets the ocean and fish the rip.

Mikew36 when state you planning to hit the surf let me know i have a nice network system id be happy to share with the un knowled no offense just looking to lend a hand

Why Sandy Hook ? Permits, long walks, cars broken into, park rangers, meet me in Bay Head. Short walk, no permits, no people, great contour on the beach, 7-11 right there.

I'd spend the $58 and jump on one of the great PB's out of Atlantic Highlands. Put a Ava diamond jig on with a green tail and you'll have a great shot to get a nice fall bass. Good Luck!!!

Now is the time to get out on the salt. We got 3 yesterday off IBSP between 20 and 25 lbs.

I caught, tagged and released 2 to 28.5" at IBSP last night on a Bomber. Go catch them again.http://s865.photobucket.com/user/NJ219bands/media/Image11062013165006_zps045ce4fe.jpg.html?sort=3&o=0
