My first striped bass I ever caught was in front of the Tiki Bar in Point Pleasant with those bright lights shining on the water. The fish hit 2 cranks from being beached. I'm not much on the foam and NE wind as was the case this past weekend.
I use the SP Minnow with a teaser 18" above that, just plug and walk the beach. Bait and wait is good in March and April. My best nights on the beach I had snow in my headlamp.

Thanks Andy,
My dad is a preferred night fisher. Our ideal timing is get there an hour before sunset, and high tide shortly after the sun goes down. So I've caught some small blues and whatnot, so again I'm not disheartened, just wondering how I can improve. I'll keep at it for atleast another month. Gotta get my money out of this mobile sportfishing pass haha.
I have some LED headlamps that I got for a trip to upstate NY last year around this time (Great Sacandaga) incase I wanted to get in on the night bite. Didn't use them much, but they'll be great for surf fishing IBSP.
Planning on going back out this weekend. Doing some reading on how to read the beach. Will throwing a fishfinder with bunker chunks, and
