There's decent tautog fishing to be had around the wrecks, white perch fishing is good in the rivers and the ponds fish well for pickerel and bass.

Mole crabs make a surprisingly good bait for summer stripers in the surf.

A few anglers are picking away at bass in the surf and tautog on the wrecks, but freshwater fishing is the hottest action available right now.

Tautog fishing is hit or miss, schoolie bass are active in the surf and crappie, bass and panfish are biting well in freshwater ponds.

A few surfcasters are quietly finding bass in the south Jersey surf, tog fishing is decent, and freshwater anglers enjoy trout and bass action.

The blackfish bite is decent but unreliable through wind and arctic temperatures, and a few striped bass linger in the bays before the season ends.

Good fishing for tautog and black sea bass keep boats running through the cold, and stripers actively feed in the surf when the sun is down.

Surfcasters wait for the beach bite to rebound, tog fishing is consistent through shoddy conditions, and a few bluefin tuna show up offshore.

The striped bass bite slowed slightly on the beaches, meanwhile, limits of bigger tautog were caught around local reefs and wrecks.

The striped bass bonanza carries on in New Jersey's surf, while the inlets and canals provide decent tog fishing for those who resist the urge to chase blitzes.
