Lots of 2" blues taking my perch bait ...also a 25" striper on 6 lb. line With the water so warm for this time of the year maybe the big perch are up in the fresh water spawning early? I would try one of those small blues for bait I bet the stripers are eating them Plan on being down what way next weekend for perch . I was going to try Grass shrimp and small minnows |

Got it thanks I hit the CC ponds today nothing. Then I hit the river at the ramp a couple of small ones so I took a ride down to the bessley point bridge They were into stripers and blues big time. Bunker all around they were snaging them and using them for bait And I was there with a perch rod with 6 lb test  Saw a 32" two 30" and a 35"striper and a big blue had to be 10 pound if not better If the tides and weather are good will be giving bridge fishing a try next weekend If not than it will be perch fishing by boat |

I hit the Patcong and Tuckahoe sunday am Water temp at high tide(6am) in the Patcong was 48.8 No fish moved to the Tuckahoe water temp was 50.9 what a difference A week makes it was cold on the water Perch fishing was slow but the dozen fish we did get had some size to them. Crabby, we got the big perch up river at your spot We need a week of warm weather to get things moving again |

My shrimp were frozen and mushy, hard to keep on the hook so I used some still-kickin' bloodworms on #4 red laser hooks. Hand-tied high/low rig with the lower hook 6" up, top hook about 20" above that, 6" snells.. Slow tide produced on the top hook, fast tide bottom hook. I started a chum line with some water I had used to boil cocktail shrimp the night before, but I don't think that was necessary really. All fish caught in the same spot within 10 yards, in about 4-6 ft. of water. |
