New Jersey & Delaware Bay Video Fishing Forecast May 9, 2024

Topwater Stripers & First Week of Jersey Fluke Our lead video this week was taken on Tuesday near Rockaway Beach, NY, a good distance to travel for many folks who watch our New Jersey, Delaware Bay weekly video fishing forecast, but it should get the motor running all the same in search of a similar topwater striper bite (with party-crashing tuna giving sleigh rides to boot!) There are plenty of inshore slamming options right now, with bluefish, weakfish, stripers and fluke in the back bays and rivers, while the Delaware Bay black drum bite is really heating up this week. Safe kayaking tips in time for our Coastal Kayak Clash and the first fish on the board in the Dream Boat Fishing Challenge. We’ll look at the first week of fluke, what’s on tap in advance of the May 17th black sea bass opener, our weekly update from the Poconos, plus some weather and technology advice for anglers pushing towards the edge this season.
