Ok dude you caught me in a typing mood....First off any info you want on Plum Island is readily available by Kay or her daughters at Surfland bait and tackle. Look for lots of schoolies on the front beach (you got to find the hot spots on your own, but they aren't hard to find just before dark) starting HEAVY in the last two weeks of may. They are there before but harder to find. You want to use 1/4- 1/2 oz chartreuse or white bucktails. Other stuff will work but these are best. ALso try the bend by the coast guard station on an outgoing tide. Same deal but a .5 oz shad body will work here as well. By the end of May big fish can be had (big is anything over 20 lbs) by tossing bait in the river. Occassionaly you can get the big girls on artificials but the water conditions (fast and dirty) make bait and a big sinker 1)sit on the bottom longer 2) smell better. Kay usually has some nice tinker macks that work "wicked pissa dude." Figure on good bait/ schoolie action up until the end of may early-july. then things slow down up there. that should get you started. YOu need to on the rocks!!! You also need to say good by to your wife and kids like you mean it each time you head out on them. If you aren't sure, don't try. That jetti is the nastiest ever and the Merramack has one sicko current where it shrinks down at the mouth, but stripers like rocks and current so be a MAN!!
Take my humor with a bottle of salt...
