Ventnor City, NJ fishing report
Ventnor shares Absecon Island's beachfront with Margate and Atlantic City, fishing the surf, the jetties, and the back bays. The jetties and groins give structure that the open beach lacks, holding striped bass and tautog when other stretches go quiet. Summer is fluke season in the bays and along the beach, with kingfish in the wash; the fall run brings bass and bluefish blitzing bait down the sand, and spring sees the first stripers and bay weakfish return.
Work the jetty pockets and the rip lines off the rock tips on moving water — bucktails and swim shads for bass, crab and clam 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 bluefish are crashing on top. In the bays, drift the channel edges for fluke. Time your sessions to the tide change and low light; moving water an hour either side of the turn is when it happens.
