Shark River Inlet Fishing Report

patchy rain on May 15 kept things interesting, decided to head out anyway. caught a nice striper around 20 inches, right at the mouth of the inlet! used a popper, and the action was off the charts! love those morning bites. made the wet day worth it!

the weather on May 14 was brutal, like seriously windy and raining. didn’t even get out on the boat. just chilled at home, guess we need to wait for the weather to clear up some more. my tackle box is never too far though, can’t wait for sun!

man oh man, May 13th was wet! caught a few rain showers while fishing, but nothing big. tried to target the fluke again but only got the small ones. i swear they’re teasing me! used some fresh bunker but it was a struggle today. oh well, better luck next time!

hit up shark river again on May 12, another nice day, just a bit windy! had a slow start but then found a school of blues. they were biting everything i threw at em. ended the day with a nice haul. used my spinning reel with some 30lb braid, couldn’t complain!

May 11th was a blast! super sunny day, finally! got out early, fished for stripers with a topwater lure. they were hitting like crazy in the morning. caught 5 keepers, biggest was 25 inches! can't beat that feeling. gonna do it again this week for sure.
