A few boats are finding stripers around 2 miles out, sea bass are biting well offshore and tautog fishing has been good around local reefs.

Sporty conditions made fishing tough this week, but some striped bass were caught near the 3 mile line while the reefs gave up decent tautog.

Striped bass crush swim shads, pencil poppers and bucktails in the surf, but tautog fishing slows with heavy winds limiting anglers to shore.

Striped bass continue to crush topwaters, bucktails and more along the beaches, while tautog fishing has been a slow and steady pick on the wrecks.

The weekend saw an explosion of slot-sized stripers on peanut and adult bunker, and tautog fishing has been excellent at the inshore wrecks.

Opening day tautog saw shoddy conditions and tough fishing, but the striper bite held strong in the back bays as dogfish flooded the beaches.

Big stripers hit the beaches, schoolies and tautog dominate the back bays, and offshore wrecks bring quality sea bass, porgies and bluefish.

Tautog fishing is good around inlets and jetties, while striped bass crush topwater plugs and plastics or live-lined bunker and spot.

The tuna bite remains hot, tautog bite well around the jetties and schoolie to slot-size stripers dominate the beaches and backwaters.

Yellowfin tuna and mahi light up schools of bait in the canyons, porgies bite well for bottom fishermen, and schoolies flood the backwaters near bridges and rivers.
