New Jersey & Delaware Bay - Southern New Jersey Fishing Reports

Southbound & Snapper Down – Plus, a Lower Cape Spotlight

The Fisherman's Jim Hutchinson, Jr. reports from the Florida Keys this week and finds plenty of our neighbors there seeking shelter from the cold and snow back home in the Northeast. His final tally on a mid-week trip out of Islamorada aboard Capt. Easy Charters was a few vermillion, lane, mutton and almaco jack in the box, with a couple of sharks, false albacore and red snapper (think jumbo black sea bass in January and February, hungry and off limits to anglers) released. Holding down our snowy fort up north this week is George "The Pocono Outdoors Guy" Schaeur's, and also take a tour of the fisheries department at Lower Cape May Regional High School with Jeff Martin and learn what makes this hands on fisheries class so unique.

Southern New Jersey Fishing Reports

JB Kasper-Southern New Jersey Highlights

January 17, 2022 - 15:12:19

This past week’s winds and weather showed no mercy on the lower part of the state. After the month started off with some decent catches of striped bass in the suds and along the inshore waters fishing came to a screeching halt early in the week. With the exception of Thursday, stiff northwest winds and some of the coldest temps of the year so far, kept most anglers off the water. There are still decent numbers of tog to be caught when the conditions are favorable and there are still some striped bass moving down the coast. Likewise Delaware Bay tributary streams are seeing decent numbers of white perch when waters are fishable.
