Kicking off our weekly video fishing forecast for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region with a look at some of the highlights from last Friday’s Manhattan Cup, with eye on the days ahead on the tournament fluke grounds. Stripers are still being reported on the beaches from A.C. to IBSP this week, with black drum meandering in and out of the surf as well. The Cape May County sheepshead bite is heating up, while head boat passengers are loading up on black sea bass before the spring season comes to a close at the Jersey Shore next week. A bellyful of fluke tips this week and another Open Boat challenge for flukers, while George has your freshwater roundup from the Poconos. Plus we look to the east with threshers in close, tilefish in the canyons, and a deeper dive into the bluefin situation riling HMS Permit holders this summer. And don’t forget the dads this Sunday!
