How far up the Manasquan river did you catch the Striped bass, should NJF&W be contacted ? How was the water in the river, clean?
Sorry I'm just a nosey rosey but nice fish all around !
Andy S to be honest i personally hate manasquan res if you dont got a boat bank accesss is limited regardless of the water level, which is high every where in Nj this year, but the water clarity was preetty clear. Fyi i rarely go there and when i do i get the skunk but i had gut feeling id catch a little fatty largie.

Im not gona spot burn but i caught the striper more towards the manasquan closer to allaire, the river seemed a little low but the manasquan is always preety muddy and id say the water was extremly clear for there, BTW that striper was the lone fish caught between me and girl friend that outing & also i caught a smaller schoolie striper last year around the same time in the same spot

Not sure there might be a small batch of stripers that use the manasquan river as there estuary until there big enough to go out to sea but thats my 2 cents
