A lot to cover in this week’s video fishing forecast, especially as air temps hit 80 degrees at the Jersey Shore this week with the passing of Wednesday’s “Pink Moon” and arrival of “32 bazillion” bunker as one of our readers described the amassing menhaden in local waters, just in time for the spring madness! Leading off our report from Up Front Bait and Tackle in Keyport this week is a look at New Jersey’s west coast along the Delaware River where a 63.6-pound catch and release striped bass is tops in our reports; that leads us to forecasts on on tautog, winter flounder, white perch and possibly black drum as well! For tuna fishermen we’re premiering a new weekly segment from Canyon Runner offering a 7-minute breakdown of offshore water conditions, plus our Pocono Outdoors Guy has the first reported shad along the Delaware for this 2026 season. Wrap it up this week with a closer look at New Jersey’s black sea bass decision last Thursday in Manahawkin.
