4/9/24 April New Moon, Eclipse, New Species

Nice warm weather and a New Moon in early April should be doing something to help the fishing. The Raritan Bay Striped Bass reports continue to be less than stellar with most captains reporting below average fishing, with the guys fishing bait having the best luck. The Night Shift has been pretty quiet this year when in years past there would be hot reports flooding social media of the epic nights they're having plugging the bayside shorelines, and while the fish are still piled up in some of the channels in the back of the bay, they slow trend continues. Delaware River action is heating up with Stripers and Shad, and Winter Flounder are starting to bite here in southern New England.
