Bay
The word is that the Rockfish are still off the coast of New Jersey. Watermen I know are trying anyway. While everyone is waiting for the run of rockfish to arrive, there is always a chance that a big resident Rockfish may bite a bloodworm if you fish the right spots like Reedy Point, Augustine or Rock Hall. Don't limit yourself to Striped Bass either. Their relative the white perch can be good eating and catfish will bite just about any time. Here's a nice channel catfish caught by one of my readers who fished the Upper Bay.

The fall trout stocking took place in White Clay Creek and fishermen
are still connecting withgood size Rainbows near the deep holes and
waterfalls along the creek. Powerbait, minnows and waxworms tend
to work quite well. Crayfish are the best bait if you want to target
Smallmouth Bass along the creek.
A friend of mine sent me a picture of a citation sized crappie that he caught
in a mill pondnear Clayton, Delaware. Definitely the biggest crappie I have
seen caught in a while in the First State. He was fishing from a canoe using
artificial worm, hoping to catch a largemouth bass. If you, too, are looking
to catch largemouth bass, here is the best guide to secret bass ponds in
Delaware Big Bass in the Small Wonder
A very rare Opah fish was caught off of Ocean City this week. Word is
that it took the lucky fisherman 1 hour to reel it in. If you haven't heard
of Opah, it is not a talk show host. It isa deep, ocean fish uncommonly
caught in our waters. Rare catch for sure. If you are looking to fish
saltwater off the Delaware coast, now is a great time to connect with Tautog,
Kings and Rockfish. Good luck to everyone out there fishing. Stay safe and
have a happy Thanksgiving.
