Black Sea Bass
The rocky bottoms and wrecks off the coast of Toms River make for fantastic Black Sea Bass territory. These tasty fish congregate around structure, so that's where you'll want to concentrate your efforts. The best time to target them is during the summer and fall months when the water temperatures are warmer. Clam chum is your best friend. Drop a chum pot near your fishing spot to attract the sea bass and keep them interested. A simple high-low rig baited with clams or squid works wonders. Remember to check the regulations regarding size and bag limits before you head out. A popular access point is the Manasquan Inlet, providing quick access to offshore fishing grounds. Be prepared for potentially strong currents and varying sea conditions.
