Weather continues to dictate what we can do from one day to the next but, when we are playing with a full deck we have found piles of stripers and blues to make angler's arm weary! A persistent low pressure system situated just of the Eastern seaboard along with a strong NNE to E Flow has made the ocean off limits for much of the week . Fortunately we have been able to catch enough stripers in the bay to keep everyone happy and going home with limits of stripers for the most part while mixing in some shorty action to keep everyone on their toes.

Jay Simmons started the week with business associate Jerry Kronmire from Sea Shore Foods in blustery NE winds to 30 kts. The guys hung in there catching a "bakers dozen" [13] while icing 4 before trips end.

Sean Castle was joined by wife Sandy and nephew Sam in search of some more striper action, but again we found ourselves pinned inside a much more crowed inlet to manage only 5 stripers and icing 2 before trips end.

The best action of the week was enjoyed by the owner of the Philadelphia Brewing Company Dean Brown aka "Yeast Life Coach" joined by brother Scott and son Aiden from Toronto Canada . The guys enjoyed plenty of fast action with both keeper and short stripers and huge blues on artificials. We had stripers and blues slurping bait right at boatside to make for some very cool visible excitement.

The last remaining dates of the 2010 fishing season are December 2, 5, 9 and 12. The month of December we will be mixing it up between stripers and blackfish for those interested in joining in the excitement.

What we expected to be an excellent week of striper fishing was turned upside down by a low pressure system that seemed determined to hang around off the coast and make our life miserable all week. Howling winds with gusts into the low 50's led us to cancel our charters on Monday and Tuesday, and continued to make fishing challenging through much of the week.

When the winds finally dropped into the mid to upper 20's on Wednesday, Steve Sweeney was back with buddies Frankie and Dave to give bay bassing a shot. Bravely enduring the wind and cold, the guys proceeded to land a dozen bass up to 20 pounds with clam as the hot bait. These were all nice fat bay fish, with only three shorts and four fish well over 15 pounds.

On Friday, Brian Murray and Dave Kruge came out to get in on the action, nailing four bass to 31" despite ugly wind against tide conditions and water temperatures that had plummeted into the 30's. Clam again produced fish in murky waters caused by the constant blow.

High hopes for Saturday's trip when the winds finally settled down were dashed as the fish seemed to develop a severe case of lockjaw. Maybe it was the icy cold water, maybe it was the intense boat traffic from the huge fleet of boats that stayed in the bay, but whatever it was the fish didn't want any part of our clam baits or live spot offerings.

We'll have to see what the next week or so brings in terms of weather. Once the bay cleans up from this week's wind, live spot should again start producing consistent bass catches from around the inlet. And if we can get a couple of days or northwest winds to flatten out the ocean, jigging action along the beach should be outstanding. Keep your fingers crossed.

Have a trip in the bay tomorrow, Mon., livelining spots for stripers, possibly sneaking outside if it's just a swell and not too rough. The guy who chartered me had one guy cancel and is looking to fill the spot, so there's room for one if anyone wants to jump.
