Tom Brower and Phil Lagrossa hold a pair of nice stripers weighing 39 and 57 pounds. Big bass are here!
Phil Lagrossa nailed a 57-pound striper yesterday while fishing from a boat in Central Jersey. He and fishing mate Tom Brower, who nailed stripers as large as 39-pounds while fishing off the Seaside Beaches, landed these large linesiders while fishing the bunker schools. Betty and Nicks are reporting that the run is here, big time, and anglers are nailing big bass like never before.
This action should last for at least the next couple of weeks. Big stripers can usually be caught up into the 4th of July Weekend, but the beach fishing action should taper off in early to mid-June. The bait to use right now is bunker, but if you get into fish, try casting some swimmers over them and fishing through the schools.
There are also lots of bluefish around as well. If you get into a school of bluefish, try fishing below the school as stripers will often be below them.[mappress]
