Raritan Bay - Saltwater Fishing Report

Fished the back bay during the couple of sunny days this past week. Clamming was not very productive so we started trolling. Hit bass right away on the shads. Fish to 25lbs on Saturday and 18lbs on Tuesday.

Raritan Bay Fishing Forecast:

With the water temp reaching the 50 deg mark the fish will start getting more aggressive as the week goes on. The fishing should bust wide open any day.

Target Species:

Striped Bass
