New Jersey & Delaware Bay Video Fishing Forecast September 21, 2023

Breaking News at Island Beach State Park Big news this week as the NJDEP acknowledges that Ørsted is indeed doing "sampling" work at Island Beach State Park right now, with the Danish industrial offshore wind developer starting what the NJDEP Press Office calls "upland preparation work at Island Beach State Park in October, and the State Park Service anticipates that any impacts to the public will be minimal." So yeah, there's sewer work at IBSP, and also some other stuff too it seems; we spent a few minutes talking to Borough of Seaside Park mayor John Peterson, Jr. who echoes our concerns about NJDEP transparency issues. The latest fishing reports from the Jersey Shore to the Poconos, plus details this week on The Fisherman's big "Inshore, Offshore, & Surf" show on September 21 at the Huntington Hilton off the Long Island Expressway in Melville. And be sure to join us out at the Jersey Shore Boat Sale & Expo this Friday through Sunday at Jersey Shore BlueClaws' stadium in Lakewood.
