Stripe Tease is back! After some offseason engine complications, the boys are back at it. Shout out to @deepmarinegroup for helping us out and getting everything dialed in just in time for the holiday weekend. Primo conditions Tuesday allowed us to look for bass, when that didn’t pan out, we managed to put together a 4 man biscuit limit with a few of our other out of season fan favorites. Wrapped up with a full on bluefish blitz right outside the marina. Ready to hit the ground running and fish hard! @willyfuel @ryan_devenney @goldenticketfishing @marinemax.brick @fishermens_supply #njfishing #manasquaninlet #seabass #stripetease

Manasquan Inlet Fishing Report on 5th Nov, 2023 - 1

Fished the fall bass tournament 11/5 with the boys of the BarrBill. Started out amongst the masses, catching one 38" fish down south in the chaos. Got called in on a bite further north where we landed 6-7 more fish in short order with a couple doubles and a triple! From there we moved out to the tog grounds where we find a slow bite but had large bluefin blowing up around the boat.

Got back on the troll for the afternoon bite, instantly doubling up on two upper 30" class fish. From there we chased peanut feeds catching multple fish on shads up to 44"

Not enough to win, but a grear day for sure!

November rolled in with a chilly cold snap which had the big girls chewing. NNW had the bait tiggt to the beach with bass and whales blowing up through them. unfortunately we had to deal with a healthy dog fish population which became a nuisance. Still ended up going 12/14 with the smallest fish being 38". Always a good tome with Jesse and Austin!

Manasquan Inlet Fishing Report on 28th Oct, 2023

Had Bobby, John, and Owen out today on the hunt for Bass and Albies. After a couple slower days, with the full tonight we were hoping they would be chewing. Boys got into right off the bat landing 8-10 nice fish in the bunker pods. Once it got hectic, we made the move to go find our own bite. Pushing out, we dropped one bass on a mojo only to had albies blowing up around the boat. Caught several on Expoxy Jigs, and then broke out the fly rods which resulted in Bobby getting his first Albie on fly. Overall a great group of guys and a great day on the water!

Had Don and Jared out for a Bass/bottom fish run. started out the morning with a few of our close friends catching fish to 40lb! Lost count by 9:30 and when the crowd started filling in we broke off and went on the hunt for Tog and Sea bass. After tbis weekends blow, the bottom fishing was slow wirh a mixed bags of small sea bass and a few short tog. A few blitzes of Albies mixed it up and kept things exciting. Great trip over all!

Manasquan Inlet Fishing Report on 18th Oct, 2023

No post can do today justice, days like this come few and far between. The boys and I had a good ole fashion NJ fall beat down. Started out the morning with all the big bass you wanted, moving to a healthy cooler of sea bass and tog, and finally capping off with blitzing albies and not a soul around. To get to share it with two of the guys I’ve fished with the longest was icing on the cake! If I had to hang it up for the season today, I’d be throughly satisfied.

After a good morning of bottom fishing, ran back out for the afternoon bass bite. South wind scattered the bait and pushed it deep, much more sporadic than it was earlier in the day. Hooked up on both bait and the flutter spoons.
