New Jersey & Delaware Bay - New Jersey & Delaware Bay Freshwater Fishing Reports
New Jersey & Delaware Bay Video Fishing Forecast November 27, 2024
When English settlers celebrated Thanksgiving for the very first time at Plymouth, MA with the local Wampanoag tribe back in 1621, it was celebrated with fish and fowl. As William Bradford noted of that first fall celebration, "as some were thus employed in affairs abroad, others were exercised in fishing, about cod and bass and other fish." Enjoy this uniquely American holiday with a uniquely American fish, the striped bass, as the Thanksgiving Weekend historically offers the best of the Jersey Shore fall run. We run the beaches this week in search of stripers, with bluefin in the mix as well just outside the breakers, while Jenni takes us in for a little clean-up challenge on Open Boat. We have a coastal county rundown from Cape May back into Atlantic with excellent reports on jetty tautog and outback stripers, and then jump back into the pages of The Fisherman for a look at the head boat options through the month of December. George has your freshwater report from the Pocono Mountains and a quick blurb or two about ASMFC and its latest round of regulatory striper meetings.
