First and last day at the new shark-petting park ... 

Thursday, April 23, 2015: I’m getting a real decent flow of striper reports, both LBI and south (Graveling and – more so – up river). The problem with reports this time of year is the truly come-and-go nature of spring hooking. Even when…

Monday, April 13, 2015: Just plain gorgeous out there, though with a chilly south wind picking up off the ocean. Ocean water temps are toying with the mid-40s, however, these real cool nights of late (32 degrees in the pines a couple nights back) quickly knock the mick out of the beachfront’s efforts to warm up – and stay up.…
