Tuckerton, NJ fishing report
Tuckerton fishes Great Bay and Little Egg Harbor, an expansive, sheltered backwater system fed by Little Egg Inlet, and it's prime South Jersey bay country. Summer is excellent for fluke across the bay channels, sedge edges, and around the inlet, with weakfish and kingfish mixed in. Striped bass move through the bay and inlet on the spring and fall runs, and bluefish push in chasing bait. The marsh drains and channel mouths give up steady action when the tide is right.
Drift the bay channels and the deeper holes near the inlet with bucktails or squid-and-minnow combos for fluke, fishing the edges where current sweeps bait off the flats. For weakfish and bass, work soft plastics and swim shads along the channel edges and marsh drains in low light. This is a tide-driven fishery — the bite turns on with a strong moving current, so target the drains, channel mouths, and inlet edges an hour either side of the turn.
