- The 2023 Fall Run got off to an epic start in Monmouth County, New Jersey, with 20- to 40-pound bass feasting on peanut bunker right in the surf.
Jimmy heads to the shore during the last week of October, bouncing around from beach to beach, hoping he doesn’t get there just in time to hear the fisherman’s least favorite sentence: “You shoulda been here yesterday.”

“He should have been there yesterday” has been the motto of my fall run as well, so I feel you on that! Still plenty of fish out there to be caught. Just have to keep persevering and hope the reward will follow!
Had me falling off the couch laughing at the end with here comes the voice over that it’s not about the fish! Like you said better than being at a desk. Great video buddy!
bad day fishing better than a good day working
Amen!
Thanks Mike! We need to do some fishing one of these years! Jimmy
Aint that the truth. Having had a bad case of the "shoulda been here yesterdays", most of October into November, I found the bass on 11/29 and slammed 18 in an hour. Lucky?? Oh yes, but the perseverance paid off FINALLY!! Keep hunting and chucking. Tight lines all!!!
Love your persistence ! That's what it takes to be a successful fisherman. Tough days make for that much more excitement when you run into hot fishing.
Great episode. Oh yeah
Thanks for watching!
Water seems calm enough for a paddle board, take yourself out 200 yards into the zone!
I grew up in Monmouth County, 1 mile from the beach. I never had much luck surf casting. I did have luck jetty fishing. I used to hang all my gear on my bicycle and go from Spring Lake, to Sea Girt to Manasquan. The water looks a lot cleaner and clear than it did when I was a kid.
Blitzing in Ocean County after Thanksgiving. Cows all over the surf.
Amazingly, I saw a brief striper blitz yesterday (Nov. 28) PM in Sandy Bay, Rockport, MA. ...late departures, obviously.
Nice! There's been some stragglers around the Cape too.
14:55 Sweet Tony 😍😍
nice release. most people would drag the fish 15 feet up the beach, then tape measure, the picture and then release.
Really great video quality and production. in my opinion this year has not been half as good as last year I missed about five sessions because I procrastinated I have an hour drive I have been catching them on Spin and fly I especially loved your Release Technique with the rod on your shoulder I've never seen that before very nice good job out there good luck!
Lmao great video man your commentary is funny as hell 🤣we have all been there chasing reports just to arrive as the bite dies down. part of the game of chasing bites i suppose...
Thanks for watching! Definitely the risk of dropping everything to run down a report. Was just one day late.
Man, his surf bag looks cumbersome!
It is. The bag weighed more than both of the fish I caught. - Jimmy
I feel your pain. I´ve missed all the big blow up so far. I´ve enjoyed the few fish I got and am thankful for them. I´ve enjoyed the people I have met, but it would be nice to have one blitz day. Keep at it. Tight lines
I just wanted peanut bunker washing around my feet and stripers bumping into my legs...was that too much to ask?
Thanks for watching and good luck with the rest of the fall run! Still going strong.
@@OnTheWaterMediaha ha! I’ve heard that so many times! I keep hoping it happens for me - or my kids - one day.
People see a blitz and don’t realize the biggest ones chill outside of it
the bite totally skipped us here in Ct we didn't even have silversides
Should probably have headed further south
Stripers been on fire in Jersey ‼️‼️‼️ im in North Jersey and fish from the pier... I've caught one keeper, all the others too big 40s" & 50s"... My keeper was 31"
That's a good problem to have!
@@OnTheWaterMedia It's been a problem I haven't had before and I'm loving it 🎣🎣🎣
Man you put on a great show it was fun watching you hunt them come on down to Nc we nail them in the winter in the lakes record is 66lbs so ya they get big and same as salt follow the seagulls and shad they will be there in huge schools
Thanks for watching! The landlocked striper fishery down looks wild - the fish are so fat for their length.
Ya its pretty crazy and super fun light gear and tons of schoolies 5-10lbs
I would still say, that was worth the trip !!
It's always worth the trip!
I do the opposite i see the crowds and move on. I rather go home with no fish but both eyes intact and not taken out by a googan casting from behind me
I'm from Monmouth county and loved watching this. I only have one suggestion. If you're going to stick with that truck camera angle, can we get a donation pool together to get you some armor all wipes? Like I treat my vehicle as a tool as well, but you know what they say-- the camera adds 10 pounds of disgusting dust and skin cells. Keep up the great content, lad.
Asking Santa for a gift certificate to get the car detailed this winter.
Chunk or raw clams. Fyi west winds are key in Monmouth
Great episode OTW! Any chance you can give us a lead on where you got the rod holder for your SUV? Having trouble fabricating mine, and yours looks pretty universal!
Thanks for watching Dan!
Are you talking about the bungees inside the car? Those are made by LoopRope (www.looprope.com/ ) - Jimmy
@@OnTheWaterMedia thanks Jimmy! Hope to see you on the water for the fall run!
Nice video Jimmy, nice rod what rod is that you're using.
Thanks for watching Mike! The rod from the first half was a Shimano Tiralejo XX (10'6" 1-3.5oz), the rod I caught the fish on was a prototype St. Croix that will be available in 2024.
God rest your (our) soul(s).
Not as good as last year, been doing the same running and gunning from Sandy Hook to Seaside but not even close to the madness from last year’s fall run 🎣🍺
What reel are you using in the beginning of the video?
That's a Shimano Ultegra Ci4+ 14000. Great real for long casting with the big spool and slow oscillation that lays the line on evenly. Doesn't like getting dunked though.
What rod are you using ?
The rod from the first half was a Shimano Tiralejo XX (10'6" 1-3.5oz), the rod I caught the fish on was a prototype St. Croix that will be available in 2024.
What king of surf bag is that? Where too get one?

I’m sure you don’t post videos of your local spots like this back at home😂 kooks
Spots? The whole NJ shore is a spot and the fish move. I feel like he didn't fish a specific jetty. It's hard to make enjoyable videos without showing some of the background. Don't worry I'm not gonna gps his spot and go there, cuz rips and sandbars move.
Let me start by saying I love OTW. BUT! I have to say I don't like the way this video encourages the cell phone fisherman to follow reports. Chasing information via cell phone is everything that is wrong about surf fishing in 2023. Spot burning and encouraging the phones. This kind of behavior will be the death of surf fishing. It encourages over crowding and frankly attracts people who don't put the work in and typically those are the people leaving trash, parking illegally and giving the good guys a bad name. Find your own fish! Don't chase reports!
Trash has been an issue along Raritan Bay for 20+ years, not the last 2 or 3. I found this video to be realistic, not "here's all the slobs, bait everywhere, making it look easy". What's wrong with the cell phone crowd ? Just about everything, but locals violate that trust just as much, possibly more, than occasional visitors. This guy came 350 miles that AM to catch some decent bas, relying on some contacts known as friends and professionally. Give him a break. It's not like he can call his neighbor and have him on the beach in 10 minutes. I fish in Breezy Point, Queens NYC. We are in south Brooklyn, Queens and The Rockaways. The guys around here invented mugging. I like minimum 30ft when I don't have to fan cast. That's still tight. The gang in these parts will cut that to 10 or throw from behind you. My rant but I loved the video.
I have a bone to pick here.
OTW burned the beach I live on INTO THE GROUND during covid. Started putting it on blast in all the reports and to this day I can’t fish in front of my house anymore. I’m not trying to be a jerk but this is a legitimate issue. I live on a small beach with limited structure and they effectively dropped a nuke on it by directly burning the spot. All kinds of people will drive from every corner of MA to fish it now. People even come from Plymouth and Cape cod just to chuck lures at my head. It’s wild
The people that come to Nj for the striper run have ruined striper fishing for me. I don’t even target them anymore haven’t in over 2 years now. I live a 1/4 mile from the raritan bay, been striper fishing since I was a little boy I’m in my 30s now. For over 20 years it was strictly local people fishing together having a blast, then people realized the bay was a breeding ground and feeding frenzy for them so now they trash our beaches, leave burning fires, leave dead blue fish on the beaches, illegal immigrants taking garbage bags full of small striper along with regular citizens, PA boaters who don’t have a clue how to operate a vessel anchored and trolling all over everyone in and out of anchored boats, pulling up on you if you hook up. It’s a miserable time so I thoroughly enjoy togging while everyone else is being sucked in by the striped bass. It’s a shame they’re beautiful fish, no wonder the state keeps pushing for tougher regs.
Same for me and the canal, It really sux the uneducated ,uncaring people out there that ruin everything and just want to fight!
We're doomed
Man i hate that i grew up in mass on the Merrimack and tons of illegals and im sure not illegals taking baby stripers it was sad trash everywhere kinda same story
Quit winning Jersey Boy,
U did the same at the CCC.
That’s why I left Monmouth County. Too many summer people, people not caring about the beach, trashing the place getting drunk and driving boats like maniacs with no clue about courtesy.
Unfortunately this video will attract more morons, googans, and undoubtedly Blitzmen from all around to come to Monmouth county to further beat and badger the striped bass into submission as usual…
Dead fish floating, fish taken out of the water for 15 minutes to take a picture, fish being hooked in the eye and gills from treble hooks… it is no exaggeration.
Not to mention some asshole from Pennsylvania camped out to fish your normal spot keeping everything he catches…
Trust me it doesn’t end there!

How do you know they are illegal immigrants, do you check their papers? lol
Your situation sounds identical to mine here in Rhode Island. Its gross.
When you start fishing out of your local area…. You will soon realize that is the same story told by every local. Not saying right or wrong..just saying
