Hey New Jersey Salt water fisherman, I am hearing whispers of some of the 1st striped bass Being caught From the beaches in Southern New Jersey, Cape May. You Southern Fishermen should check in with your local bait and tackle shops And please post if you can confirm fish are on the move So guys like myself up North in the Sandy Hook area can start looking. Thanks and Good luck.
