@@69bajaoutdoors In the mid eighties the fishing at the rip was great. I remember fishing all night at the rip and in the morning fishing all the beaches from the hook to Island Beach State Park.
@@michaeloshea3090 That’s awesome. I’ve only been in New Jersey for a couple years now. I’ve heard some great stories of the rip and the beaches too. I need to do a lot more homework to get them dialed in. Also, living over an hour away from the rip, I don’t get to do it often.
@@69bajaoutdoors I live in Staten Island and back in the day I fished the rip almost every night in October to November. Very grouchy person at work...even more when I got skunked.
They are starting to show up in Raritan Bay. A lot of shorts at the moment but it is still early. But to answer your question, it should be provided the weather stays warm. On The Water magazine puts out an annual striper migration map. The big girls arrived the first week of April last year. This year was a pretty mild winter so yes, it should be on fire very soon!!!!
There were a lot more prior to sunrise. The lot was half full at 4:00am. I didn’t see too many that took fish home. The ones I did see going home seemed to be in the slot.
@@sammywhammy5728 Yes! My apologies, your original comment makes total sense now. 😬We did see them. There were a few that were fairly close. Kept us hopeful that they would push the bass to shore.
Super video, guys. Loved the music that accompanied the awesome footage.
Thank you so much!
Caught the biggest fish of my life there in the mid eighties, 60lb +. I'll never forget that November night!
Nice!!!
I didn’t weigh my biggest but conservatively guesstimated at 30lbs. I couldn’t imagine at 60 pounder!

@Clubera112
Yes! I gave you a fist bump right after. Thank you for your comment! I’ve been back but nothing like that morning!
Where is that fly fisherman? You guys had a great morning!
We did really well prior to sunrise! I packed my fly rod but the winds were a lot stronger than predicted.
Best spot in the entire world
When it’s hot, it’s on fire!
Also best chance to catch one when it’s not hot
@@peterlorenzo615 I would agree with that also.
third week of march any good?

that's Rip #2 False Hook
Yes. I have been corrected a few times now. 😁 Thank you for the info.
That’s the false tip, not the rip.
I’ve been told several times after the video aired. Still not sure where the rip is. 😬
Thank you for your comment and watching!
