Big Dave's Tackle

Reports out of Big Dave’s Tackle tells us that the Delaware Bay saw a little bit of action this week with anglers on the sheepshead, tog, croakers, spot and stripers. Green crabs and sand fleas put good numbers of sheep on deck in the bay and tog from the Cape May Jetties. Away from the structure, the greater bay was a little quiet with scattered reports of a few weakfish, spot and croakers.

Early in the week, it was the Delaware Bay and back bays that provided most of the fishing action for anglers according to Dave at Big Dave’s Tackle. Both areas were giving up lots of the fun fish of summer like kingfish, croakers and spot. The bridges in the back and the lighthouses in the bay were also seeing a good tog bite for anyone using sandfleas or green crabs fished on tog jigs. There has been plenty of baitfish pushed up the bay and into the inlets this week, and the expectation is that the coming week should see good action for stripers and blues as all this bait again makes a move towards, and out to sea.
