Black Sea Bass
Seaside Heights, New Jersey, provides access to some fantastic Black Sea Bass fishing opportunities, particularly around the numerous reefs and wrecks offshore. These structures provide habitat and attract the baitfish that sea bass feed on. The best time to target Black Sea Bass is during the warmer months, from late spring through early fall, when they are most active. Bottom fishing with baited hooks or jigs is the most common and effective technique. Popular baits include clams, squid, and sea worms. A local tip: utilize a fish finder to locate promising structure and schools of fish. Also, be prepared to adjust your weight depending on the current; you'll need enough weight to keep your bait on the bottom. Keep in mind that regulations regarding size and bag limits can change, so always check the latest information before heading out.
