New Jersey & Delaware Bay - Central New Jersey Fishing Reports

New Jersey & Delaware Bay Video Fishing Forecast November 5th, 2026

Two best things about Election Day? For starters, we don’t have to watch vicious campaign ads and listen to the back-and-forth bickering of talking heads. But more importantly we saw the opening salvo of bunker busting bass this past Tuesday along the Jersey Shore. Join Jim Hutchinson, Jr. on the beach this week for our video fishing forecast for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region. With the fall striper run now hitting its stride, we break down where the bait is moving, the latest striper bite along the beaches and inshore lumps, tautog (blackfish) action on the wrecks, and hot spots across the region. West is the best for menhaden nosing up against the wind, and the midweek NOAA marine weather forecast looks tasty for this Saturday and Sunday. Plus, we look at upcoming events, meetings, and tournaments, along with tips and tactics to help you score, and avoid being expelled from the state!
