Graveling Point Update by John Stuebing

Posted on March 22, 2024 by bayside425

Since my first trip to Graveling Point in early March, I have returned two more times. Each of those trips produced Stripers. Pictured here is one of the little guys making there way up the Mullica. On the last two trips, I caught two and three shorts to 20″.
I am surprised at how many fish are being caught. I see two or three keepers being caught every trip by somebody. Seems like everyone is getting shorts. The action has all been on bloodworms. I have been focused on the first three hours of outgoing but others have told me they are catching on the incoming tide.
Going to try and get out again this weekend if the weather permits.

Fishing Facts

Of the fifty United States, thirty-eight have a striped-bass record. New Jersey has the largest striped-bass record—a 78-pound 8·ounce whopper that was caught in 1982. The state with the smallest striped-bass record is Iowa. That landlocked striper weighed only 9 pounds 4 ounces and was caught in 1983.

There’s something fishy about beer these days. Fish Tail Ale is popular as ever, and New Jersey’s Flying Fish Brewery is one of the state’s largest specialty breweries. There’s also Washington’s Wild Salmon Organic Pale Ale, Florida’s Land Shark beer, Delaware’s Dogfish Head beer, and two versions of Stingray beer—a lighter version from the Cayman Islands and a dark beer from Canada.

The triangle fly is probably the most unusual of saltwater flies. It’s one of the few, if not only, flies tied to a treble hook. It’s also barely a fly at all, because hardly any material is used. It is complete after tying the two straw pearl twinkle flashes and the tiny tuft of natural squirrel, leaving an entire hook fully exposed. Incredibly this barebacked treble fly is a knockout when it comes to sea trout.
