Black Sea Bass
Seaside Park offers access to some excellent Black Sea Bass fishing, primarily on the numerous reefs and wrecks located offshore. These bottom-dwelling fish are most active during the warmer months, from late spring through fall. Look for rocky structures and artificial reefs where they congregate. A standard bottom fishing rig baited with clams, squid, or crabs is a reliable approach. Jigging with bucktails or diamond jigs can also be effective. A local tip: check the local tackle shops for GPS coordinates of known wrecks and reefs. The Black Sea Bass population off Seaside Park is generally healthy, with a good mix of sizes. Be aware of the current regulations regarding size and bag limits, as they can change frequently. Also, be prepared for strong currents and wind, which can make anchoring challenging. Using a sea anchor or drift sock can help you maintain your position over productive areas.
