Stone Harbor Weather Forecast
Fishing reports straight from our guides in Stone Harbor
We did an offshore wreck trip for ling and did great! 27 per angler average with high hook close to 40. Other days we're catching some fluke and bluefish but its been inconsistent as the ocean is still on the chilly side but it should heat up soon!

Fishing has been up and down. Flounder are biting in the back bays and out in the ocean on the reefs. There are trigger fish holding over some of the wrecks too. Lots of little sea bass too. In the surf there are kingfish, spot, sand perch, weakies, rays, and sharks. So good options for lots of action.

The crazy good surf striper fishing continues along the NJ Cape! Soaking clams or bunker is yielding big striped bass, some nice sized bluefish, and pesky dog sharks and skates. Plugging the surf is hot! Lots of stripers to be had, and occasional mini blitzes of blues. With the cooler than normal water temperature the striped should stick around for awhile. Flounder fishing is fair, it would get better if the dirty water would clear up. And drum fishing in the Delaware Bay is finally heating up. Getting class to go out and play is the only issue.

]The beaches are giving up some really nice striped bass. They are hitting a variety of plugs, clams (fresh and salted), and bunker chunks. There are some black drum in the mix too.
The back bays are giving up good numbers of stripers too. And the flounder are pretty thick too. Looking forward to flounder season opening up!
I've been splitting time between the beaches and back bays and doing well. Lots of stripers from 20 to 40".

What a fun day out! Skel and I ran out to see what we might find. First stop was the reef. We spot locked over a pile of rubble and hauled up short sea bass, after short sea bass. I managed three blues and a triggerfish too. Made a move to o eof the wrecks, but it was barren. Ran a few miles further out and tried another wreck. We found more sea bass, but they were even smaller.
The question burning in our minds was simple; push further out in search of bigger sea bass, or, run back inside...

The question burning in our minds was simple; push further out in search of bigger sea bass, or, run back inside and enjoy the bent rods? We ended up pushing further out. We found some sea bass pots and worked the area in between them. There were clouds of fish! We started off with bait, Mole crabs, clam, and squid. Then I changed up to jigging. Jigs were the ticket. Bigger fish and quicker results. While hauling up a ton of short sea bass, we slowly drifted close to one of the pots. We noticed some movement and realized there was a big school of little mahi holding to the structure. We tried chunks of peanuts, whole peanuts, and all sorts of lures. Skel managed to finally get one of the slightly larger mahi to bite his chunk. It bent the rod for about three seconds and spit the hook. I finally had enough. I ran back over to the little piece of rubble and dropped our jigs. We started
right back where we left off. The sea bass were voracious, and for some reason, bigger. We hauled in fifteen keepers in short order, along with loads of shorts. I even got a big porgy.
Unfortunately time wasn't on our side. I could've stayed out there all day. But, obligations take precedence over fun at times...
