Hey Im a new member from NJ. I've never caught a striper. I just started going surf fishing, anyone have any tips so that I can catch my first one? Thanks in advance...

Get up here Quick//////////////:D

haha. Here in NJ the bait is just starting to move so everyone is starting to catch the striper ones, but too many blues around..

Quit your job, leave your woman, cancel your apointments, buy a 4X4 with a camper top on the back, spend 2 grand on tackle, learn to go without sleep for days, drive from NJ to cape cod fishing all the way, and then you will catch stripers.:D

Im not down on my options yet! I like fishing NJ :hihi: It just doesnt like me:hang:

lol, welcome tommy

Thanks:D

welcome to the wonderful world of fishing, tommy...

and as some wise oldtimers would say, practice makes perfect... watch what the other oldtimers are doing and then learn to perfect it.

Yup that makes a lot of sense.. I try to learn as much as I can on message boards as well

Chase tommrows fish not yesterdays fish!

Message boards are an excellent source of tips and techniques.

But as far as asking for locations on where to fish, don't. Most old fogeys on this board will be quicker than Clint Eastwood on the draw about bad sites to fish.
