Black Sea Bass
If you're looking to tangle with Black Sea Bass, Egg Harbor Township offers access to productive nearshore and offshore waters. The key is understanding their seasonal movements, which are closely tied to water temperature and the availability of forage species like crabs, squid, and smaller fish. Spring and fall are prime times as the sea bass migrate inshore and offshore respectively. Focus your efforts around reefs, wrecks, and rocky bottom structure. For boat access, the numerous marinas along the Intracoastal Waterway provide convenient launch points. A local tip: Black sea bass often congregate in deeper water during the day, moving shallower at dawn and dusk to feed. Adjust your depth accordingly and don't be afraid to experiment with different jig weights to find what works best in the current.
