Raritan Bay Bass

[Mike Buelow]

Fished hard Sunday. Started trolling under the birds in the triangle early, and worked my way up the reach and across to 11a with only a few tails bit off by snapper blues. was marking fish like mad, but no bites. decided to run outside to look for some life and didn't mark or see anything. came back inside and started trolling the Staten Island side of the reach. Finally found the stripers feeding somewhere east of Princess Bay (don't want to spot burn) and managed numerous shorts and 5 keepers, 28"-32" No big fish, but fillets for everyone on board. For what It's worth, would have caught many more except a Charter Boat kept running through the pods of fish like a "bull" and kept putting the fish down, very unprofessional.
