Jeff Kampf and dad Bill, caught these healthy stripers about a mile and a half southwest of the canal in Delaware Bay on chuncked bunker. They lost 2 more keepers right at the boat and landed a 20 inch fish as well. Jeff says they had a great day with lots of action on incoming tide despite murky water.
For Captain Ray, it was another frustrating week if you wanted to catch stripers on a fly. Water still has not cleaned up and heavy winds forced him to stay at the dock. He reports some action from guys using bunker and fishing up in Delaware Bay.
