Well, well, well, looks like it’s time to talk ’bout fishin’ out at Belmar, huh? Ain’t nothin’ fancy, just good ol’ fishin’. If you’re plannin’ to drop a line down by the beach or head out on a boat, let me tell ya what’s been goin’ on lately. Now, I ain’t no expert, but I’ve seen enough to know when the fish are bitin’ and when they’re not. Let’s take a gander at what’s been happenin’ in November 2024 down by the Belmar shore.
First off, the weather’s been right nice, I’ll tell ya that. Had a few warm days in mid-November, and the sun’s been shinin’ just right for a good day out by the water. Ain’t too cold yet, but you still want to make sure you’ve got a good jacket, ’cause them winds can whip up faster than you’d think. The fish, they seem to like it when it ain’t too cold either, ’cause they been bitin’ pretty good when the weather’s just right.
Now, what’s been catchin’? Let me tell ya, the big news around here is that folks been pullin’ in some nice striped bass. Them fish, they’re out there in good numbers, so if you’re fishin’ from the beach, you gotta keep your line in the water and wait it out. The folks out on boats, they been gettin’ some nice hauls too, especially in the deeper parts of the water. The bass are swimmin’ close to the shoreline, but they also hang out a bit farther out where it’s nice and quiet. So, if you’re tryin’ to land one of them big guys, best bet is to try both spots.
It’s not all striped bass, though. Some good-sized bluefish been makin’ their rounds as well. You catch a bluefish, you know it, ’cause they put up a good fight. They’re real strong, and they ain’t afraid to tangle with your line. Best bait for them has been some fresh cut bunker, or if you’re lucky enough to get your hands on some live mullet, that’ll get their attention right quick.
What ‘bout the weather, you ask? Well, like I said before, it’s been a mix of sunny and breezy. But let’s be honest, the fish don’t care much ’bout the sunshine, they care more about how deep the water is and if they can find somethin’ to eat. That’s why the fishermen who know their stuff been bringin’ in the catches—’cause they know where to go and when to throw their lines in.
- The water temperature? Still hangin’ around 50 to 55 degrees, perfect for them bass to be close to the shore.
- Wind’s been a bit of a challenge, but as long as you know where the wind’s comin’ from, you can still fish right by the pier.
- Don’t forget your sunscreen! You might be thinkin’ it’s November, but that sun’ll still sneak up on ya.
If you’re thinkin’ ’bout fishin’ from the beach, remember, you gotta stick to the spots near the Belmar Fishing Club pier. They got rules, ya know, so don’t be thinkin’ you can just fish wherever you feel like. But other than that, the beach is open, and folks been havin’ a fine time pullin’ in all sorts of fish.
And don’t forget to bring a camera, ’cause some of these fish are real beauties! I saw a nice 20-pound striped bass come in last week, and let me tell ya, that’s a prize catch. It’s always nice to see the younger folks gettin’ into fishin’, too. It’s a skill you don’t wanna lose, you know, and it’s somethin’ that’s been passed down for generations.
So, if you’re lookin’ to get out on the water, now’s a good time. The fish are bitin’, the weather’s decent, and you just might bring home a nice catch for dinner. Just make sure you check the forecast before you head out—don’t want no surprises when you’re out there, especially when that wind picks up. But for now, things are lookin’ good. Get your gear, get your bait, and head on out to Belmar. You never know what you might pull in.
Happy fishin’, folks!
