Historically, Montauk sees a November flurry of big fish, feeding on Herring. The last few years this has not materialized. The bridges at Jones Beach traditionally give up a trophy or two right after our Striper season closes on Dec. 15. This would seem to indicate a Christmas striper would be possible in NJ waters, but by then, the air temperature stifles angler effort. I don't even SEE the fat lady, much less hear her song. A shorter answer to this question would be "right after the first decent snowfall".
