After a week of brutal cold, heavy winds and a little touch of snow throughout the region, the weekly weather report as of Monday morning, January 22 shows a bit of a warming trend heading into the latter stages of the week. In terms of fishing in the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region, that means a little white perch action in the back bays, salty rivers and creeks, perhaps climbing aboard a charter or head boat in search of tautog.
For those looking to shop around there are a few events going on this week where you can get a free copy of The Fisherman Magazine and take advantage of our “show specials” for subscriptions, a $20 Shurhold gift card that you’ll receive via email, and a 4-inch Tidal Pro iPop popper from Tsunami that you’ll get on the spot when getting a new or renewing subscription.
First up this week, the world’s first and longest-running boat show, the 2024 Progressive Insurance New York Boat Show, opens at the Javits Convention Center on Wednesday, January 24 and runs through Sunday, January 28. A New York tradition since 1905, the five-day event delivers a shopping paradise for boaters with the latest in boating innovations, plus interactive boating workshops, and fun for the whole family.
