Bob Tiller and his friend Pat called from the water to report a nice catch of ling in 21' of water off the red tower; anchored up using clam and chumming. They didn't catch any stripers, but still had a great last day fishing this season, since the boat is getting pulled after today, just like many others.
The sand eels have moved on? Little Egg Inlet anglers are back to fishing the bars with the fresh clam and finding a fair number of stripers. Barnegat Inlet anglers say HA! plenty of bass to be jigged and trolled up here.

Today the Bass bite seems to be slowing. There were anglers who had mixed reports, some found fish, some didn't. Closer to the beach was a little better. Inlet fishing produced some nice bass, one weigh in that was 35 pounds. Didn't hear too much about river fishing. Some people tried togging but no reports to speak of.

It's striper fishing season. The end of last week was striper catching season. Anglers worked long and hard for their catches today. There wasn't any just right spot or just right time. Persistence and miles are what put the fish in the boxes today. It was like the fish are scattered. Trolling anglers covered more ground, so they came up with more bass then the jigging anglers. If we didn't have a bass fishing palooza like last week, maybe today could have be called an ok fishing day as anglers who put the hours had a couple of bass and a few had half a dozen fish for their days effort.

Tog anglers had a good day. They went and hit a spot or two, caught fish and called it day. Clean and simple.

Wind and sea conditions kept trolling anglers to a minimum. Even so, they were able to locate fish along the beach. The action was far from hot and heavy and many of the fish caught today were short of the twenty eight inch legal limit size.

Little Egg Inlet anglers had fish mid morning on the incoming tide. Beats me; all the action I heard last week was on the falling tides. The point I suppose is that you just have to be there.

After telling countless anglers that Graveling Point is the dead sea and the fish have all moved out to the beach front Aaron Moore stops in for his post Thanksgiving Graveling Point fishing day and weighs in a sixteen pounder. It goes to show a fanatical log book beats hear-say every time.

Word is the perch activity is still pretty good out toward the mouth of the Mullica River. The perch aren't out in the middle of the river, but in the creeks still near the Great Bay. So, if perch is your thing, Round-About Creek, Nacote Creek and Ballingers Creek are still producing white perch.

There was still an occasional sea bass caught this past week in deeper water; for sure, the frenzied sea bass catching is over until Spring. Not so for Tautog anglers; the action is as good as one could hope for. It might take a couple of moves to locate a hot spot; don't stop looking until you do. Start looking in sixty feet plus water depths.

Bait supply is hard to figure this time of the year. We loaded up on fresh clams, more green crabs and a fresh flat of bloodworms for those perch and Graveling Point bass anglers.

Fishing Report:
Had a trip of a lifetime! Bass & Birds everywhere. Ocean was flat calm! Between my wife & I we caught 14 bass with only 1 throwback! After the monster cow was brought over the side I decided she should be released to be able to spawn for next year and be the catch of a lifetime for someone else! We quickly measured her to be 48" and the scale bottomed out at 49 lbs and the spring broke so we are not sure of the accurate weight but she was a beauty and my personal best! My wife captured the release on video, so we will have lasting memories. The next day we brought out our 2 boys and we also had a great day boating 8 bass! A Thanksgiving weekend to remember!

Very quiet today, so we didn't hear much. One regular stopped by to say that they had a short run of stripers in the inlet on the incoming tide this morning for about two hours til around 10 a.m., then the dog sharks started back up. It wasn't easy fishing while it was on either, they had to work for it.
