In this week’s video fishing forecast for the New Jersey, Delaware Bay region, there’s a lot to cover – the big news on LBI with a 52″ striper caught and released during the 78th World Series of Surf Fishing presented by the Long Beach Island Fishing Club Tournament. That catch and release jumbo also earned top slot presently in the Surf Master division in the 72nd Annual LBI Surf Fishing Classic. Are there more, bigger fish to come? The powder keg is set to explode! We have breaking industry news to start the week from Minn Kota, followed by video of ‘YOY’ striper surveys up the Hudson River (Raritan Bay striper reports are getting hot and heavy by the way), and a look at reef and wrecks options this weekend. Another Dream Boat update with new entries along with our weekly freshwater report from the Pocono Outdoors Guy. The Canyon Runner offshore forecast is back this week, along with a few weekend events to consider, alongside your fishing!
