New Jersey & Delaware Bay - Delaware, Maryland & Chesapeake Bay Fishing Reports
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.

The fishing was hot one day and cold the next, much like the weather. You still had to be in the right place at the right time with the right bait or lure to cash in on the action. I was not. The bluefish bite was good from the beach by the pier at Cape Henlopen State Park on incoming water until I arrived on Tuesday evening. Fished the incoming until dark with an SP Minnow. No fish for me or any of the other anglers on the beach, the boats or the pier.
