🎣 Jersey Shore Fishing Report – The Action’s Heating Up
The local bite is blazing, and the variety keeps things interesting up and down the coast:
- Fluke (Summer Flounder) are stealing the spotlight in Barnegat Bay, the Manasquan River, and around the inlets. Outgoing tides have been especially productive with white Gulp, spearing, and squid doing serious work on the keepers.
- Seabass are still pounding the structure on wrecks and reefs. Early mornings are delivering the best action—get out there before the sun gets too high.
- Bluefish & Stripers are making a splash in the surf and the Point Pleasant Canal. Live eels and spot are your go-to if you’re looking for some drag-screaming runs.
- Croakers & Kingfish are thick in the surf and bay waters—perfect for a laid-back family outing. Bloodworms and Fishbites are the ticket.
- Sheepshead are lurking near bridges and pilings. Sand fleas and fiddler crabs are getting the nod for those targeting this stubborn but rewarding species.
- Weakfish are popping up in the surf and back bays like ghosts with a taste for soft plastics and small jigs.
