Late season striper?

[Sony]

Hey guys,

Just a quick striper question. What's the latest in the season these guys can be caught in the back bays of Barnegat, NJ. Still have boat in the water and came up dry the last 2 times out. Are the fish still around? and if so how long do they stay around? It's my 1st time keeping the boat in this long.

Thanks again,

Have you been jigging? Any topwater or are you using bait. Bunker or eels, clams. I would bet clams are the top bait in the backwater. start a slick with clamjuice and minced clam. Ladel it out and hook up a nice chunk of clam. The stripers will be there most of the winter. Jig or bucktail work very well. They are there you just need to make a adjustment.
