Insider Tip
The 'pocket' between L Street and 10th Ave jetties holds fish when everywhere else is dead. Cast parallel to the beach in the wash.
Hot Spots
- •L Street Jetty tip - deep water drops off fast, holds bass year-round
- •10th Ave Jetty pocket - protected water on south side for tog
- •The Shark River side - calmer water, excellent fluke drifting
Proven Tactics
- •Plug the jetty rocks at night with black or purple swimmers
- •Bounce bucktails along the rocks for tog - green crabs are deadly
- •Chunk bunker in the suds between jetties during blitzes
Seasonal Patterns
Spring
Tog bite picks up mid-April. Green crabs on bottom rigs.
Summer
Blues crash bait early morning. Kingfish in the suds all day.
Fall
Night plugging peaks Oct-Nov. Walk the jetty at 2am for cows.
Winter
Hardcore tog fishing only. Dress in layers, fish the slack.
⚠️Know Before You Go
- •Slippery rocks - wear korkers
- •Waves break over jetty in rough conditions
- •Strong sweep current
