Striped bass are still kicking on Raritan Bay on bunker heads, when you can get through bluefish, "Rich E." said.

His first fluke of the season, and it's a 25-incher, he said. He grabbed the fish on the bay on a Gulp grubtail teaser.

The fishing, on the back bay, has been good, a little slow on a couple of afternoons, but not bad at all, a report said. A few weakfish and blues were also reeled aboard. Above, a 6-pound flounder.

The 4-hour trips for flounder, sailing twice daily, are only $25 on the pontoon boat, because the bay is nearby, and the vessel is economical on fuel.
