It’s May 1, 2025, and New Jersey’s summer flounder season kicks off this Sunday, May 4th. If you plan on fluking around on Sunday, spend the first 8 minutes of this week’s video fishing forecast for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region looking at regulations, tips, tactics and a weather forecast for opening day. Bluefish reports are heating up as the run of spring racers gets underway after this week’s new moon, the shorebound black drum bite spreads out from Seaside to Delaware Bay, and the surf side striped bass action improves in the warmer, sunnier weather. Speaking of sun we dedicate 15 minutes of this week’s video heading with Open Boat talking about Melanoma and Skin Cancer Awareness Month and the importance of UV protection. George has your weekly freshwater roundup from the Poconos and we wrap up the week with the Dream Boat Fishing Challenge kickoff and weekend options in these first days of May
