I have been trying Sandy Hook out the past few weeks. Dogfish have been sucking up all the cut bait. Pulled in a few Hickory Shad, decent size. Went last Monday morning at first light up towards the point. After about an hour, picked up a hickory Shad and a short striper. Saw at least 5 more pulled in the same time frame,...then I had to leave for work:/ Haven’t seen any big ones pulled from the beach but heard the same about LBI, some keepers from the surf. Prob head back out next week for another go. Had the striper hit on a 4” swim Shad (white) with a teaser. All the Shad hit on the teaser, striper hit on the swim Shad, prob measured about 18”- the striper that is. Let me know how you make out
