New Jersey & Delaware Bay - Southern New Jersey Fishing Reports

New Jersey & Delaware Bay Video Fishing Forecast December 11, 2025

Surfcasters in the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region are still hopeful for pockets of hungry stripers along the beaches - perhaps a flurry of surfside sand eels sometime in December - but let's be honest, the Valkyrie Brünnhilde has been warming up on the dunes for weeks. That said, we open this week's video fishing forecast with solid striper reports by boaters off Cape May County, before spotlighting the featured 22.8-pound tautog weighed in on LBI over the weekend. We should learn more next week about the '26 fluke and sea bass seasons, and with the holidays upon us there are a few weekend options for you in Monmouth, Ocean and Atlantic counties for gift-giving. The Pocono Outdoors Guy has your weekly freshwater rundown and we wrap up the week with the history of the "Zara Spook" name with a look at pending legislation in Trenton that could impact anglers in New Jersey should it ever get to the lame duck's desk before the year is out.
