Fishing Report Thread

Quote from conklinator

I was just north of the inlet on Sunday at Savages Ditch. As we pulled onto the beach and were unpacking, one of the guys we were with that got there a little earlier than us brought in a 39 inch striper. Of course we caught nothing the rest of the day...

That's how it usually works. You see a fish somebody else caught and gets your hopes up for the day.

High tide was like 10:00 AM on Sunday. I had my fish and was heading home around 10:30. I had got there around 7:00 am to fish the incoming tide, and the bite was good all morning. I saw 4-6 keeper stripers taken off the north side jetty and countless shorties. I bagged my keeper around 9:30, and before leaving I caught 1 more shortie. My buddy stuck around till about noon and he said he only saw 1 more keeper. A few hours before high tide usually produce more at the inlet. The bite overall has slowed down over the past 2 weeks.

sounds like a good time, were you using hard baits or soft plastics?

I used a variety of bucktails/swim shads/rattle traps. I caught a fish on almost everything but the keeper was on a storm swim shad. It was the brown with the red eyes medium size. (5" or so). I also had one chomped in half most likely by a snapper blue.

Yeah I heard they were hitting @ low tide at herring point I sat out there for a while tossing clams and no luck. Bunker was no were to be found at all.... bought a box of squid and found a sweer spot behind the 2nd trough about 400 ft from the crossing @ herring point... I'm bout ready to gear up for trout and kings though. Its getting that time.

There were six of us that drove on Monday at Gordon's pond. Twelve rods and nothing. Used squid and clams. No bunker anywhere. Did not see a fish fought on the whole beach but a good time anyway

Gordons pond is only good from mid march to about the end of april.... herring pt and naval crossing are the spots to be @ right now.... after july gordons pond is good again.

We are heading out now. Going to point crossing. Easier to launch a kayak further up where the surf is mellow. Will report our catchings. Fishing the in comimg tide all day.!

Yeah bob ill be there.... just hit me up when you hit dover area.... we will caravan down and squid is the bait of choice right now.

Great weather, lousy fishing. Saw 1 skate caught. At first a land breeze brought in bugs, then it reversed and we had a cool sea breeze.

all loaded up and heading down tomorrow, not sure what beach/crossing but am pretty sure it will be at CHSP .................here fishy, fishy, fishy.....

Just remember the Nascar race is in Dover this weekend so hope traffic isn't too bad for you.

Was down Monday on Memorial Day @ 3R's... We barely even got a bite.. Bunker chunks (frozen), Mullet, and Squid. I think it was the quality of the bait that didn't help, but nobody was catching anything and the beach was full. This was between 930am - 1:30pm, high tide was 11:30am that day... a little after 1pm we ran out of beer, so it was time to go :upset:

Might try again tomorrow morning with the wife... I think we will try Key Box this time

Well.... bob and I went out today and caught a handful of croakers and kingfish. Bob took the win with a spider crab.... go figure.
