Our New Jersey, Delaware Bay regional rundown of saltwater catches headed into this final weekend of April includes striped bass, black drum, blackfish, bluefish, and yes our first reported weakfish. We kick off this week’s video with a deep dive into the May edition of The Fisherman out this week, with our report cover headlines with “first bluefish reports over Easter,” “black drum bay invasion underway,” and a “May striper forecast – hot & heavy,” all leading towards a great week of action. Headlines out of Massachusetts about pinching a striper’s tail for measurement should be old news to Jersey anglers, but New York offers a new rub on using green crabs for bait that’s already chafing a few tautog fishermen. The first weakfish report in Cape May County, plus Jenni talks trash on Open Boat as many folks are cleaning up on the freshwater options from the Jersey Shore out to the Pocono Mountain
