Just thought I would poll the general public regarding this years striped bass fishing/ Blue fish. I used to fly fish for striped bass a lot in the late nineties. From what I have heard the fishing for Bass from shore this season has been dismal at best. How does everyone else who fishes for them feel?
Does anyone believe that lower catch rates from shore is due to the beaches structure changing after sandy. Are people not catching as many fish because they are not as familiar with the structure? Or is it population decline or a combination of both?
I have some vacation time coming up and was wondering if it might be worth it for me to drive an 1 hr and a 1/2 on way mid week to peek around and give the not so local local fishery a go. If so would others agree that it would be worth it to pony up and buy the night pass for Sandy Hook?
