Our fish named "Bob" tagged in Maine showed up in Little Egg Inlet in Southern New Jersey this week. "Bob" was tagged on October 10 and stayed in the Saco River until October 15; he showed up in New Jersey less than two months later. "Bob" was 26.5" long when caught by Maine angler Bob Panetta. Scientists from Rutgers University Marine Field Station have deployed a similar telemetry acoustical hydrophne array off the coast in an effort to understand the coastal migration of stripers in the Mid-Atlantic states. The Rutger’s study area includes the Mullica River/Great Bay estuary, the southern end of Barneget Bay, and the coastal ocean outside of Little Egg Inlet off Tuckerton, New Jersey. More information is available on their website, http://www.StriperTracker.org.
