Tog!!!

The best action right now is for tog in the Inlet.

We have been getting live sand fleas most every morning.  Still no live green crabs.  Might get them Friday or Saturday.  No guarantees.

Water temp has fallen under 60 degrees to 57.  The striper migration is reported to have hit north Jersey.  Any day now.... as the song goes!!

The are picking at the resident population of stripers in the Inlet with an occasional slot fish reported.

Surf has been slow.  Jim Ruback caught a released a slot size striper on the beack in Fenwick Sunday.  It hit cut mullet.

No fresh bait available.

Weekend weather looks fishy.
