Seasonal Updates, Real Catches & Expert Tips

We fish year-round in Barnegat Bay and the surrounding inshore and nearshore waters, adjusting tactics as the seasons shift. In spring and fall, the striped bass bite heats up with migrating schools passing through, while summer brings in a wide range of species—including tropical fish like triggerfish and mahi closer to the reefs. Each report includes recent trip highlights, bait recommendations, tide insights, and water temperature trends so you can plan your outing with confidence.
