Fisherman Fred's Fishing Report, Hamilton, NJ, 4-23-10

[Saltwater Fishing]

Saltwater Report:
4/23/2010
The surf has slowed down the past few days. It could be that the bunker that was around has moved out or the lack of people fishing. Today looks like it could be a good day. The wind right now is out of the NW and that should help some. If I hear anything from the surf I will update the report.

Bay Report:
4/23/2010
Some bluefish were caught from Barnegat Bay. They are hitting metals as they are chasing the bunker. The black fishing is still going good off the the jetties on crabs. The blackfish season is coming to the mid-season close soon (April 30). The crabbing is ok, with poeple getting about a dozen keepers.

Fresh Water Report:
4/23/2010
Didn't have many reports yesterday. A lot of people fishing the Delaware for striper, herring and shad. The herring is ok but not as good as years past. The shad fishing has picked up a bit but still isn't great. Stripers are still being caught but that has slowed as well. Crappie, sunnies, catfish and some bass are being caught from Town Center, Miry Run (tech pond), the Assunpink dam at 130, and most other lakes.
