Fishing for striped bass was probably better now than all season along the South Jersey Coast, said Sharon from The Girls Place Bait & Tackle. Customers reported very good catches, including from the bay. One customer ran a trip this weekend that pounded nine stripers off the E.P. Tower in 10 feet. But the fish seemed spread throughout the bay. Fresh bunker, the favorite bait for the bay, will be stocked at the shop through Sunday. Afterward the store will be closed for a winter break. Call ahead to ensure a supply of bunker, especially for Sunday, because the store will order no more than needed for that day. A few eels, not a lot, are stocked, and so are green crabs for tog fishing, and tog fishing was going well. Bloodworms are no longer carried, and demand was low. Sea bass season will be open until closing January 1, so anglers currently have their last chance at sea bass for the season. The ocean was 51 degrees, ideal for striper fishing. Conditions for striper fishing were better now than in November. The Girls Place is located on Route 47 just after Route 55 ends, and it’s the long, one-story, yellow building on the right. There’s a large parking lot with plenty of room for trailered boats.
