Black Sea Bass
Looking to tangle with Black Sea Bass near Lanoka Harbor? Your best bet is to head offshore to the reefs and wrecks that dot the New Jersey coastline. These structure-loving fish congregate around these areas, providing ample opportunity for anglers. The season typically runs from late spring through fall, with the peak bite often occurring during the summer months. Bottom fishing with baited hooks or jigs is the most effective method. Clams, squid, and cut bait are all popular choices. A three-way swivel rig or a simple high-low rig works well for presenting your bait near the bottom. A local tip: use a fish finder to locate promising structure and to determine the depth. Also, be prepared to move around if you're not getting bites, as Black Sea Bass can be finicky. Adjust your depth and presentation based on water temperature and current. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits before heading out. They like structure and forage.
