Happy April Fool's Day !! Today may be a day for jokes, but it will be less than one week, and the "Just One More" will be back in the water. That is no joke!! That is when it is time to get serious about striped bass fishing. Stripers are being caught down the back of the bay in the Keansburg area, like Pebble Beach as well as in the Keyport area and other locations. Keepers are being landed as well as shorter bass. With all the nice weather that is predicted for the next week, I think the water temps. will rise and turn the stripers on the feed. Winter flounder are being caught up to 15" in the Shrewsbury river as well as other locations in the back bay. Any one who wants to try for winter flounder can fish for them at the same time as the striped bass. Many times early in the season, we are getting small hits on the large striped bass clam baits, as these are flounder who can't take such a large hook. We could possibly even limit out with both species.
