Anybody have any experience fishing the Raritan Bay in the fall? I’m new to living in the Bay Area and haven’t had any luck in the fall. I’d appreciate any tips, strategies, or stories for fall striped bass fishing on the bay. Thanks!

Anyone getting out and fishing the nor’easter this week? If so what are you fishing for and what are your tactics?

What happened to surf fishing etiquette? This most recent year, I’ve had multiple people fish on top of me after seeing me catch a fish. Last night, after catching a few fish, a guy came over and fished less than 5 yards away from me. Then they got frustrated because I put a few fish on the beach while they were right next to me. They ended up casting over my line to snag me, untangled our lines, then ran over to their buddy to tell them what I was using. Since it’s night time and no one else on the beach, I chose not to be confrontational. Ive also been noticing more people mishandling stipers than ever before. Gills are not handlebars. If you don’t have surf fishing gear and are not willing to get into the water to revive fish, don’t fish at all.

Jokes on them though because I had a banner night while they got not a single fish. Rant over….
