Black Sea Bass
Little Egg Harbor Township provides access to excellent Black Sea Bass fishing grounds, both in the bay and offshore. While nearshore wrecks and reefs are productive, venturing further out to deeper structure will yield larger fish. The season typically runs from late spring through fall. Traditional bottom fishing techniques with baited hooks or jigs are effective. A local tip: try using a three-way swivel rig with a heavy sinker to keep your bait on the bottom in strong currents. Also, consider adding a teaser fly or bucktail jig above your bait to attract more attention. Black Sea Bass are known for their aggressive strikes, so be ready for a good fight. Remember to check the current regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can vary. Popular access points include the marinas along the Tuckerton Creek.
