This week, OTW’s Matt Haeffner and Jimmy Fee discuss the importance of river herring and bunker during the early spring, and key indicators that distinguish migratory stripers from winter holdovers.
We also get an update from Ocean City, MD, on behalf of Capt. Jeff Rosenkilde of Bad Habit Sport Fishing and Always Bent Fishing OC, who’s been catching bass from the coastal bays to OC Inlet as they head for the ocean. Then, Scott Thomas of Grumpy’s Tackle in Seaside Park, NJ, discusses the average size class of stripers in the back bays and anticipates when the action will pick up in the Ocean County surf.
