Strong Striper Mornings as Cooler Temps Roll In

Prime Time for Spring Striper Action in Lacey Township

Striped bass season is heating up along the waters of Lacey Township, NJ. Anglers are reporting strong action throughout Barnegat Bay and near the mouth of the Forked River, with stripers feeding actively in the early morning and late afternoon hours.

Live bait such as bunker and bloodworms have been producing consistent results, especially during incoming tides. Trolling stretch plugs and casting soft plastics around structure have also been effective. Most fish are in the 24- to 32-inch range, with a few larger bass pushing 40 inches being landed on live-lined bunker.

Warmer water temps and active bait schools are keeping the action steady. As we head deeper into the spring run, now is the time to gear up and hit the water. Whether you're casting from a boat or the shoreline, striped bass are here and hungry in Lacey Township.
