Don't Miss Out on the Striped Bass and Bluefish Run along The Jersey Shore
November is an exciting time for both the beach and boat angler as the migration of striped bass and bluefish along The Jersey Shore will reach its peak. The largest concentrations of both of these species will be found this month and famous "Jersey Blitzes" will continue. Fishermen will also have an opportunity at targeting and landing some of the biggest bass and bluefish of the season.
As air temperatures get colder and water temperatures drop on The Jersey Shore, the greatest activity and feeding takes place as falling water temperatures are the impetus that triggers striped bass and bluefish to feed as they bulk up for their migration to the south.
During November it will not be uncommon to land stripers that will weigh in excess of 30 pounds and bluefish that will flirt with the 15 pound mark. On average however most striped bass will range in size from 10-25 pounds and bluefish will average from 8-10 pounds. As a matter of fact, last week a 12 year old girl just caught a 48 pound striper off of Cape May...a state junior record! The world record is 78 lbs caught near Atlantic City.
During the first several weeks of the month inshore boat action for stripers and blues will occur anywhere from just outside the inlet to one mile off the beach. Look for visual signs of surface commotion along with diving gulls, gannets, and terns that will mark the locations of the pods. In the surf look for bait that is tight to the beach in your location. If no bait is there, move to another spot. Latter in the month trolling deep anywhere from 30-70 feet of water will consistently put trophy catches on board at this time of year.
