New Jersey & Delaware Bay - New Jersey & Delaware Bay Offshore Fishing Reports
Don’t Want to Work? Bang on the Drum
More black drum reports coming in through our weekly fishing reports at TheFisherman.com, as sod bank casters in the Great Bay, Absecon Bay area in particular have found some early boomers picking up their baits. Striped bass action is picking up along the open beaches, in ad-dition to the river hot spots which have been producing since the March 1 opener in the Garden State. Tautog action continues this month for boats heading out of ports in New Jersey and Del-aware, though jetty jocks continue to score from shore. We’re past the April moon and hoping for a warming trend in the next few days, though the fast-moving nor’easter earlier in the week could’ve been the trigger for an onslaught of saltwater action. Could the inlet invasion by those yellow-eyed devils begin this week? Someone has to be the first on the scene!

With the canyons on the quieter side, it was the inshore, and I mean in shore, bluefin explosion that injected a huge dose of hope that the tuna season was not ending prematurely. The bluefin, ranging from teenagers to giant class, were on a rampage, and most likely will still be as you read this, in and around the New York Bight. Its expected that the yellowfin and bigeye action will resume, and with increasing counts of longfin arriving, the canyon fisheries should once again ignite. Increasing attention is being paid to the late September swordfish surge, and the tilefish are a gift that keeps on giving. Mahi are spotty, but they always seem to have a final push as October nears. Remembering last years Triple Wrecks yellowfin phenomena, nothing close to it in 2021, although the Atlantic Princess and, to a lesser extent, the Resor did flash with some blistering action time to time. It was a solid year for white marlin numbers-wise, with a grander blue topping the billfish season.
