Well now, if you’re lookin’ to catch yourself some good fish around Point Pleasant, NJ, let me tell ya, it ain’t too hard if you know where to go. A lot of folks come here, all ready to drop a line, tryin’ to reel in something tasty for supper. It’s mostly about the right time and the right spot, just like when you go out pickin’ vegetables from the garden—ain’t no use goin’ out when it’s too dry or too rainy, ya know?
The surf’s where a lotta action happens. Over there, from the inlet meetin’ the Atlantic, there’s a place folks call “The Pocket.” That’s where some good fish swim by, and you can catch all sorts: bluefish, striped bass, fluke, and even weakfish if you’re lucky. You gotta watch the tides though. Them fish, they don’t come round just anytime. The best time is usually when the tide’s changin’, like when the moon’s doin’ its thing, makes the fish wanna feed.
Now, I been hearin’ from some fishermen lately that the bite’s been steady. They’ve been reelin’ in tog, bluefish, and even a few sea bass. If you’re out there near the bay or the inlet, that’s a good spot to try. The fish are bitin’ real good at certain hours, so if you got the time, you best be out there early in the mornin’ or late in the afternoon when it’s a bit cooler.
As for the water conditions, the weather’s been actin’ real nice. Ain’t been too hot nor too cold, just right for fishin’. A few days back, folks were catchin’ plenty of fish in the surf and bay. A good mix of bluefish and sea bass. Some say the bluefish have slowed down a bit though, so if you’re lookin’ for them, you might have to wait a little longer. The sea bass and porgy have been more active, and that’s been good news for a lot of people out there.
If you’re askin’ about the best times, well, most folks tell me that around dawn and dusk is when you wanna be out there. That’s when the fish come closer to the shore, and you can get a good catch without havin’ to go too far out. For them striped bass, they seem to be around more in the deeper waters, but you can still catch a few from the shore if you’re patient enough.
There’s a lotta talk about the blackfish lately too. Now that we’re comin’ up on the end of the 5-fish season, more people are gettin’ out there to catch their limit. If you’re headin’ out for that, be sure to check the weather and the tides, ‘cause they really can make a difference in how much you catch. Some of the best fishing has been right outta the Rarity Bay, and there’s folks out there every day, no matter the weather, tryin’ their luck.
Another thing to remember is you might wanna download the fishing apps. A lotta fishermen use ’em now, and it’ll tell ya where the fish are bitin’ and when’s the best time to head out. With the BiteTime™ feature, you’ll know exactly when to cast your line so you’re not sittin’ there waitin’ for nothin’.
So, to wrap it all up, if you’re comin’ out to Point Pleasant to fish, the time’s right. The fish are in the water, and the weather’s just about perfect for a day out on the coast. Remember to keep your eye on the tides, and be sure to check the reports before you head out so you know what’s bitin’. Whether you’re a seasoned fisherman or a beginner, there’s plenty of action to be had around here. Just pack up your gear, and get ready for a good time!
