Chesapeake Angler (and his wife) visiting in October

As if JimC needs any help with new SPs!

Did you get out on a boat at all?

Chessie,

Not sure if you are still checking into the forum but I have an opportunity to go out Sunday and Monday Nov 10 & 11 from Widwood crest in New Jersey chasing Stripers. I think we intend "chunking with bunker" as its called but any advice you could provide would be welcome.

I understand this end of NJ was not impacted by Sandy.

Private boat fishing with some work colleagues.

Cape May is where we go for summer vacation. You will be fishing the Cape May Rips at the mouth of the Delaware Bay. I hear they are doing well and most stripers (Bass) will be large 20-30 lbs. Hope for clear water. Silty is not as good.

Bait is fine but hope you have some large lures like 6-8" storms (soft plastic with paddle tail and lead built in), jigs and spoons. Sometimes they come up top for surface lures.

You may also find a fluke (flounder) or tow and possibly big, mean Bluefish.

Go onto The Bass Barn and read up under the Delaware Bay board. Also search cape may rips fall

Well how did you do? I read reports for that weekend and sounded like water was off-color and fish were hard to come by. It can be a magical area.

Chessie,

We boated 3 fish. I got one about 16lb. The bunker heasds seemed to be the bait of choice. Water was quite murky.

Thanks for your advice, definitely something i will try again.

Good for you Donal. You did good. That was a tough weekend for bass fishing.
