Both bay anglers, surf anglers and those in the ocean say the bluefish bite picked up this week. At Murphy’s Hook House in Toms River, the staff theorized that some recent rainy days pushed some of the bluefish (and stripers) out of the Toms River and into Barnegat Bay. Stripers above 20-inches were reported near the Route 37 bridge on bunker chunks, a report from the shopsaid.
