Was based in NJ for 13 years in the USAF...even up there, the preferred temp is anywhere from 45-63 or so...BIG stripers were about all up and down the beach...live menhaden or eels were the natural baits of choice...swimming plugs such as either yellow or black bomber A's, worked SLOW, worked well...the rule of thumb for crank baits was "If you think you are woking it slow enough, work it slower..." My biggest striper there was 38#...GREAT trip and pics, Capt...I always forget about the winter bite here...might make a try for them in the next couple of weeks....
