No Conger Eels? Hate bringing those up from the deep. We've been getting many out of season Tog at The Farms now. You always get em there on clams but last week we caught Tog on the jig! I agree about Sandy Hook Reef, the nursery...
Water in Reach still cold. Try by bug light or up Shrewsbury River if u can. Pilings by Oceanic Bridge producing. Spearing on naked jighead, teaser above optional. BTW - This is not spot burning, this is NJ...
NJ update: Fluke season opened on Monday but rain/muddy water prevented us from our usual opening day tradition. I've been Fluking from shore and doing well since mid-April (catch n release). NJ Fluke regs for 2022 are 2 between 17 and 18" and ONE over 18". Three of us fished Shark River...

If you follow that Creek towards Shea Stadium it runs into Fountain of the Planets, then the Par3 golfcourse, then into Flushing River. We would fish the Fountain and people would be amazed at the carp we caught there.... ahh, fond memories...

NJ has voted on and approved option 2:
May 2 - Sep 27 .... 2 slots between 17 and 17.99 and 1 over 18
Opinion: 2 fish to fit inside a 1" slot coupled with inevitable high grading for that single over 18 - could be recipe for trouble.... although the party boats will enjoy it...
Dang,,, I grew up in Flushing too. Between Kissena Park and Flushing Meadow Park, those carp didn't stand a chance against us. Shea Stadium was also a nice place to play hooky in the 60s/70s

Please explain why you feel that slots don't work for Stripers? This past season seemed to prove to many that throwing back those 38"+ had a positive effect on the fishery. Slot fish work well for Florida and Texas, and now slots are being considered in NJ for fluke. Mike,,, Can you please...
