Many striped bass are now spawned out and heading back into the lower bay area. Several anglers have been catching large striped bass or rockfish.  The fish are skinnier and you can tell they have spawned already.  Yesterday a fifty five pound striped bass was caught in the Delaware Bay on the Jersey side with bunker chunks, reported the shop Fin-Atics in Ocean City, New Jersey.   A fifteen year old named Sudney U. landed the fish.  We don’t know the exact location.  Doesn’t matter those fish are on the move again anyway.  That fish would have bested the current state record held by Ben Smith.  There are some big fish in our waters, you just have to put in the time.  Some boys up north over the weekend landed a lot of large striped bass.  The commercial boys hear Bowers Beach are filling their boxes for market.  The action is out there and some of the fish are big.  I would not be surprised to see the state record broken again this year.  Last year it was broken but the angler did not realize it until it was too late to have the fish checked.  Old Inlet reported a keeper striped bass landed in the surf over the weekend.  The shirt striper action is on fire which is still fun in the surf.
