Black Sea Bass
Black sea bass are primarily a saltwater species, so targeting them near West Point, PA, requires a trip down the Delaware River towards the bay. While not a typical target in the immediate vicinity, dedicated anglers willing to travel can find these tasty fish. The best time to target them is during the warmer months, typically from late spring through fall. Look for structure such as wrecks, reefs, or rocky bottom in deeper water. Black sea bass are bottom feeders, so use bottom rigs baited with clams, squid, or crabs. A practical tip is to monitor the water temperature; sea bass prefer cooler water, so they may move deeper during the hottest part of the summer. Check local fishing reports for the most up-to-date information on sea bass activity in the Delaware Bay. Remember that black sea bass have size and possession limits, so be sure to check the regulations before you go.
