title pretty much says it all.. when will the beaches turn on?

 

[kevnmary]

when the bunker show up is the easy answer. Also when you start hearing about bluefish.

Ive had great surf action towards april 20th on clam. They arent huge fish, but you can pull a few 10-15lb fish out of the mix. The biggers girls will show up in mid may, or whenever the bunker start pushing this way.

 

[slimedog]

when the big d river stops producing it time to hit the beach. give or take a week or two.

Phiilyfishing, if you are talking stripers, then what slimedog said is about right, which is usually late april or early may. I've had my most consistant action when water temp hits around 53 degrees or higher. Which usually occurs early may. However, if you want a cow, late may-early june is prime time. But thats just my opinon

april.....

 

[Capt Buck]

Water temp in Cape May was +42*f @ 22.12 EST, Sandy Hook was +40*f @ same time,AC was +39*F @ 22.06. Gonna be a bit yet.

 

[LilFisherman]

theyll at least start moving around in 42!...this week of 50s should make the temps jump a little bit for us too.

 

[Joseph Lamberty]

I gotta agree, looking at my log from last year I didn 't catch a fish from the surf till the water was 47 degrees and that wasn't until the 1st week in April.

I did not know you fished the sand Paul??Tell you what outfront usually when the water has warmed up and into the high 40's to low 50's.So it all depends on the weather.

I agree with Slimedog - keep an eye on the fishing in the River because you are going to want to be ready when they start dumping back out. If you wait for the bunker to show up then you have already missed the clam bite. Fishing artificials really kicks into gear when the bunker show up though.

Just read a 40 degree bottom temp at the end of 23rd street in Avalon. Gonna check at the bottom of the tide to see if we gained a few degrees. Should be some bass starting to move around a bit in the back.

My logs say last week of April past few years. I don't pay attention to water temp, I just get out when I can and it seems late April is about that time.

When Loopy calls me and tells me he needs some elestric string. Then I know it's time to get down there. :thumbsup:

Word is Loopy has enough elastic string to last a life
time. I think he bought out a store. He may never call any of us when he starts catching.
