A few double-digit fluke reported out of the Shark River Inlet fleet in the past week is evidence enough of an improving bite out along the inshore sticky stuff. We’ll run down some of the latest catches reported back to us here at The Fisherman Magazine for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region, with fluke, sheepshead, a recent Sandy Hook bluefish invasion, as well as cobia and bluefin offshore. We’ll continue our “Next Cast” discussion on sharks and rays this week, especially as Delaware State Parks looks to address bait deployment restrictions in the wash. The latest offshore intel from Canyon Runner for heading into the weekend of August 7-9, along with our freshwater update from the Pocono Outdoors Guy and a stopover visit to Atlantic with Kalvin from Fishing the Atlantic. Wrap up the week with a little editorial housecleaning and ongoing fisheries management discussions happening this week.
