What's Biting at Dennis Creek
Activity ratings reflect typical feeding seasons — not legal seasons. Regulations, closures, and size/bag limits change; always check current NJ Fish & Wildlife marine regulations before keeping any fish.
Striped Bass (Atlantic)
Morone saxatilis
Season: Spring and fall migrations; summer in New England (check regs)
Baits: Live or chunk bunker (menhaden), Clams, Live eels
Stripers feed where moving water pushes bait against structure: inlet mouths, jetty tips, bridge shadows, rips and points. Fish the stronger part of the tide, and dawn, dusk and night, especially in summer. Chunks or clams on the bottom from the beach, eels or swimbaits at night along rocks. Circle hooks on bait; release fish carefully, most of the catch goes back.
Bluefish
Pomatomus saltatrix
Season: Spring and fall runs along the beach; summer offshore
Baits: Cut menhaden, Metal spoons and jigs, Topwater plugs
When blues are blitzing bait in the surf you will see birds working and bait spraying; throw a metal or a popper into it. Wire or heavy mono leader, because they bite through everything else and through each other. Bleed and ice them immediately if you plan to eat them.
Weakfish (Gray Trout)
Cynoscion regalis
Season: Spring and fall; numbers are low in most years (check regs)
Baits: Soft-plastic shad on a jig head, Peeler crab, Squid strips
Fish bays, inlets and channel edges, dusk and night especially, with a jig or bait worked slowly near the bottom. Weakfish get their name from a soft mouth, so a light drag and a net help.
Black Sea Bass
Centropristis striata
Season: Late spring through fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid, Clams, Small jigs
A structure fish: rocks, wrecks, reefs, jetties and pilings. Drop a high-low rig or a small jig straight down and keep it just off the bottom. Bigger fish sit deeper; inshore jetties and piers hold plenty of smaller ones.
Summer Flounder (Fluke)
Paralichthys dentatus
Season: Late spring through early fall (check regs)
Baits: Squid strips, Live killifish (minnows), Gulp! swimming mullet
Drift or slowly retrieve a bait along sandy and gravel bottom near channel edges, inlets and drop-offs. Moving water is everything: fluke face into the current and ambush bait, so a slack tide usually means a slow bite. Bounce the bottom and give a second before setting the hook.
