New Jersey & Delaware Bay - Delaware, Maryland & Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reports
New Jersey & Delaware Bay Video Fishing Forecast September 28, 2023
Get Ready – The Powder Keg May Get Lit! It's the final weekend in September, as New Jersey's fluke season comes to an end while black sea bass reopens on Sunday, October 1. In this week’s video fishing forecast for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region, we take a trip back in time to October 7, 2022. That’s the day that winds began laying down after back-to-back nor’easters, and by October 8 the bull rush of cow stripers was underway at the Jersey Shore. Now that Lee and Ophelia have passed, can we expect that powder keg to blow once again? Spend a few minutes with our October print edition of The Fisherman going over plug and lure selection for the fall, then see about applying those tactics to the weekend beaches. There are still sheepshead around, redfish too in and around Cape May; plus we have our weekly freshwater report with the Pocono Outdoors Guy and more of our interview with Borough of Seaside Park mayor John Peterson, Jr. who is apparently one of the many local elected officials at the Jersey Shore placed on the “strictly need to know” basis by the governor and his army of bureaucrats.

I am sure the Coast Guard has had to replace their small craft advisory flags at least a few times as they have flown consistently for what seems like at least a year. To the best of my knowledge, only one boat tried to fish in the ocean last week and they returned early with four sea bass. All the Delaware beaches were closed due to erosion and as the tidal marshes flood the grass fouls the water. When the weather improves it will take several days for the fishing to return to normal, whatever normal is.
