Black Sea Bass
For some exciting bottom fishing, consider targeting black sea bass out of Somers Point. While you'll need to venture offshore a bit, the rewards are well worth it. These tasty fish congregate around reefs, wrecks, and other structure, typically in depths of 60 to 120 feet. The season generally runs from late spring through fall. A standard bottom fishing rig baited with clams or squid is effective. The public boat ramp near the Somers Point Circle provides access, but make sure your boat is seaworthy for offshore conditions. Keep an eye on the weather forecast and be prepared for a longer boat ride. Also, be aware of the regulations regarding size and bag limits, which can change periodically. GPS coordinates for known wrecks and reefs are invaluable for locating these fish.
