Asbury Park, NJ fishing report
Asbury Park fishes a beachfront broken up by rock jetties, and that structure is the key on an otherwise open stretch of the North Jersey shore. The jetties hold striped bass and tautog and give bait something to relate to, concentrating fish that would scatter along open sand. The fall run is the headline, when bass and bluefish blitz bunker and mullet down the beach; spring brings the first stripers, and summer fills the suds with fluke and kingfish.
Work the jetty pockets and the rips off the rock tips on moving water — bucktails, swim shads, and live bait for bass, and crab or clam fished tight to the rocks for tog. Along the open beach, fish the cuts and troughs with bait on a fishfinder rig, switching to metal when blues are crashing. The jetties fish best on a moving tide that sets up rips off the tips, so concentrate your effort around the turn and at first and last light.
