I want to take my stepson fishing tomorrow, and I think blackfishing will be too tough for him. (I'm not the greatest myself!)

let alone tying the rigs lol. So I was hoping against hope that maybe someone is still targeting (& hopefully finding) stripers. Anyone....anyone.... Bueller...Bueller?

Never went for mackerel. What kinda gear? Bait etc?

Might want to look at the reports. If they caught fish they would have posted already.

I'm pretty sure it's just a sabiki rig. Or a bunch of tiny gold hooks jigged up and down.

The fat lady has sung. No one is sailing for stripers.No mack reports yet out of belmar.

Store bought mack rigs are fine. You can use a sinker or diamond jig for weight.

Mack fishing is not rocket science.Just go on a PB and they have the rigs.The mates will be more than happy to help you out.When the macks are in good you will have a blast!In the fall the best month for stripers is Nov.
