Higbee's Bait and Tackle

Cliff at Higbee’s Bait and Tackle was closing up shop for the winter, but he tells us that there have been some nice size perch being caught this week. Bloodworms have been the best bait for what appear to be the biggest perch of the season coming out of Fortescue Creek, the Maurice River and Dividing Creek. Bonus tag and smaller stripers are being caught along with the perch, also on bloodworms. In Delaware Bay, deeper water structures, plus the lighthouses were giving up a decent number of keeper tog to 18 inches on green crabs.
