Great Fall Striped Bass Fishing!

Sept.
October
November Trophy Rockfish
White Perch, Bluefish, Sea Trout Trolling, Jigging, Bottom Fishing

Sept. & Oct. we have Birds over schools of bait with feeding Blues as they prepare to migrate. Followed by rockfish breaking as they feed for winter.
This is the best time to catch the fish by light tackle jigging.

November rockfish feed constantly, fattening for winter. This makes catching them easier. Late November Trophy Stripers return to the Bay. The last several years morefish from 20 to 50+ pounds were caught than in previous times.
You will need not have to wait until April to catch your Trophy Striped Bass!
Reserve a date NOW!
