Customers started fishing for striped bass a little at places like Cross Ledge, the Elbow and the 6 buoy, said Matt from Shag’s Bait & Tackle. Whether they had success or not was a question, but any stripers landed now will usually be smaller ones, resident fish starting to become active because of dropping water temps. Larger, migrating stripers will arrive later, moving as far up the bay as about Ship John, and not pushing up the Delaware River like in spring. In fall the fish make a foray into the bay to feed on a migration that’ll continue south, but in spring the stripers invade far up the river to spawn. In fall fresh bunker starts to be the popular bait for stripers, and the shop will carry the fresh menhaden when the fishing starts to take off. Bloodworms are stocked and can be used. Bluefish reappeared in the river, and schoolie, resident stripers could always be nabbed in the waters, and so could white perch and catfish.
