The August 2026 edition of The Fisherman is out this week; look for your copy of the New Jersey, Delaware Bay edition at local tackle shops like Big Dave’s Tackle in Port Elizabeth located within Maurice River Township in Cumberland County. Gear up for the fluke bite this week as we run through a few impressive “double digit” catches including weigh-ins for the Dream Boat Fishing Challenge. Summer brings new visitors to the Jersey Shore including a few shockers and a couple of croakers (spot, kingfish, even cobia too). Don’t forget about the incredible tuna options from nearshore bluefin to canyon bigeye and yellowfin; more intel from the world of Canyon Runner this week to help put you on the bite, plus our regular freshwater update with the Pocono Outdoors Guy. Finally, a heavy dose of tournament fluking this weekend ahead, and the return of New Jersey’s “one-fish bag” on tautog.
