OT- Winter Saltwater Fishing

I have been eyeballing the New Jersey coast in the hopes that the big striped bass and bluefish that have been on the beaches there may make a showing on the Delaware and Maryland coasts (a 150 mile drive from the DC area.) Years back, I had tremendous success around Ocean City in December. I would get a good nap, drive to Ocean City and get there around 1:00AM. I would fish with shad assassins and storms off the bridge to catch "schoolie" striped bass (most around 18-23 inches with the occasional fish pushing keeper size.)

Around 5:00AM I would head to Harbor Bait and Tackle to buy bunker, then I would head down to Assateague Island, where there would be a nice pick of striped bass and the occasional bluefish in the spring.

The body of ocean fish has not come to the shore in several years, and while I have still done ok on the Route 50 bridge fishing under the lights, it doesn't seem like the fishing has been as good. I have debated trying my hand in Delaware either on the beach or at Indian River Inlet, but I am limited in my knowledge and experience.

Any pointers for this guy, who is bored out of his mind not fishing the last few weeks? Also, if there is action elsewhere, report it here.
