Fishing conditions in Wildwood, New Jersey are steadily improving as spring sets in, bringing a variety of species within reach for local anglers and visiting charters. Striped Bass continue to dominate the bite in the back bays and around bridges, with most action happening during outgoing tides. Anglers using live bunker, bloodworms, and soft plastics are reporting steady hookups, especially during early morning and evening windows. Fluke (Summer Flounder) season is starting strong, with anglers picking up keeper-sized fish in the channels and near drop-offs using bucktails and Gulp baits. Bluefish are showing up more frequently along the jetties and inlet mouths, attacking surface lures and cut bait. These aggressive feeders are providing fast-paced action during outgoing tides. Further out, Black Sea Bass are active on nearshore wrecks and reefs. Party boats and charter trips are reporting solid catches when anchoring over structure with clam and squid rigs. Anglers should also keep an eye out for Weakfish, which are expected to arrive in greater numbers as water temps climb. With improving weather and warming water, now is a great time to plan a trip or book a Wildwood fishing charter. Whether you’re fishing inshore for back bay favorites or targeting reefs just off the coast, the bite is only getting better.
