Re: Bay Fishing
I have to agree with Cuz. The fishing in Raritan Bay is no where near what it was a month ago. That's not to say there's no fish or you can't find small pockets but the huge body of mostly keeper fluke that was in the back at the beginning of the summer is no longer there. If the fishing in the back is still that good why would every party and charter boat from Keyport, Morgan, etc. be running out to Ambrose and the ocean??

Re: Bay Fishing
Most over 17" are going to be females and they are spawned out so they are moving out of the bay into the ocean. It happens the last week July, first of August.

Re: Bay Fishing
3 dynamics going on here... 1. yes the bigger fish move off to the inshore lumps around now. 2. yes there is an unbelievable amount of fishing pressure in the channels of Raritan bay and the bigger fish get caught 3. just because you didnt catch doesn't make them an endangered species.. change tactics, fish new areas. try fishing only 6" + live snappers if u don't want to catch shorts. you conceivably miss a lot of fish reeling up and releasing shorts all day
