Finally

Hey All:

I’m in the Cherry Hill area. Is there any spot that will spool
reels (one spinner, one bait caster)? I fish enough that I want it done right but I dont have the time to learn.

fish measured exactly 15 inches so kept for the day, the tog next to the wawa cooler was short and sent home 🌊

Biggest fish I’ve ever caught. Using a freshly caught Ling as bait.

Hey all,

I recently got back into surf fishing, went fluke fishing a few times this summer at sandy hook, and caught a bunch. I want to try to go for stripped bass hopefully in a few weeks. Any tips or gear needed?

I have a 10 foot rod 2-6oz lures, 8000 real with 30 lb braid on it.

Also have a 9 foot rod 1-4oz, 4000 real with 25 lb braid.

My son pulled in another PB. Last weekend it was a Channel Cat and this time a LMB. It came in at 6lbs on the dot and 21”.

Fun fish to catch, and a bit tricky. Good times

Can anyone recommend an affordable lightweight rod and reel combo for striper fishing? This would be used on the surf. Thanks -

hey, I’m going one of these days to Woodale County Park to try to catch some trout. I have a Mepp Black Fury inline spinner, which I hear is a classic for trout.

I'm looking for a few Android users willing to help test a newly developed striped bass surf fishing app before its public release on Google Play.

Testing is completely free, and there are just three requirements:

You must have a Gmail address.

It must be the same email associated with your Google Play Store account.

You must remain enrolled for 14 consecutive days. Daily use is not required.

No purchases are necessary. Just explore the app when you have time and share any feedback.

If you're interested, send me a message or email info@stripertracker.com with your Google Play email address. You'll receive an email with a private Google Play invitation link to begin testing.

It's fun, easy to use, and I think you'll really enjoy the app!

Hi all, I'm making a trip out for the first time to try my hand at some striper fishing. I'll be shore fishing around the second week of November. My question is: since I don't have specialty surf casting equipment (rod and reel) that fits what the guys on youtube have and I'm not in a position to buy some just for one trip, do I have a realistic chance of catching a striper, even a small one? I genuinely have no idea what I'm doing but I've been trying to read up on it. I have some inshore gear and a 9' ugly stick but it is super heavy to be working lures with. Is there a chance to catch some fish from shore (surf or rivers) or am I hosed? Thanks in advance!

Just wondering if any of you guys have used an umbrella/alabama rig for striped bass fishing from the shore. I’ve never been striper fishing but just knowing that they go after schools of baitfish I feel like this would be a good idea but any advice would be very helpful. Thanks! (Also spot suggestions greatly appreciated but I know they’re migratory anyways)

Looking for some advice on catching stocked rainbows. This is my first time trying my hand at trout in general. I'm in the North Branch Raritan River area and have been trying white rooster tails and salmon eggs on bobbers but have had no luck. I know the stocking only started last Tuesday but I've not even gotten a nibble. Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.

Hey everyone, I’m very new to fishing I got started because my kids were begging to go and I’m starting to like it a lot myself. This will be my first time fishing freshly stocked waters and I thought it would be cool to bring my kids to watch the water get stocked and then of course let them fish. I’m close to the Princeton section of the D&R canal and was thinking of going to there when it gets stocked later this week. I have two questions 1. Would we even be able to watch or is the entrance blocked off while they stock? Question 2. where and what time even is the D&R canal being stocked for the fall, or where would I go to find that out??

Does anyone know roughly what time they stock ?

My son reeled in his PB Channels Cat yesterday. It blew his previous one away by almost 10 lbs by weighing in at 15.26.

Had myself a day at Mercer lake. All caught on an zman orange 1/4oz chatterbait. I didn’t have a scale or tape but I’d say that pickerel was about 30” and probably 6-6.5lbs. For scale, I’m 6’1”. I couldn’t even get the whole fish in frame with me. This pic was the closest I got. Biggest freshwater catch I’ve ever gotten. Definitely need to go out on the kayak over there. Tight lines, thanks for looking!

I've always heard that fish feed aggresively before a cold front rolls in. Not sure if its true but this guy certainly was hungry and the Whopper Plopper strikes again!

Hi all:

Thanks to all of you who are using and enjoying the app.

Later this week I will need 20 app testers so Google can put the app in the play store.

You can join the test group two ways, respond through the app (https://stripertracker.com) with your name and email or send us a message on Facebook at stripertracker.com.

I'll collect names and emails and send specific information later this week. It's 14 days of testing. You just use it and answer Google's questions about functionality, etc.

Thanks again!

Saw 8-10 guys today in long branch using full on old school treble hooks to snag and live line bunker. If you do this, your mom is a ho and hope you stub your big toe on a desk everyday forever. Fuckin dorks.

Final beta is done — Striper Tracker is live

Just wrapped up the last beta update for Striper Tracker (the fishing conditions + striped bass migration app for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic).

What's new:

More spots — added back bays, jetties, and inlets alongside the oceanfront locations

Conditions for more species (not just stripers)

Better maps and migration graphics for tracking the 2026 fall run

A few more backwater features (expanded water temps and tides) are coming in March 2027.

If your town, back bay, or favorite inlet isn't in there yet, you can request it right in the app.

Appreciate everyone who's been testing it and giving feedback.
