Fishing Avalon Back Bay
Strong tidal exchange through the channels behind Avalon creates reliable current that concentrates baitfish and holds predators on both the incoming and outgoing tide. Fall stripers stack on the outgoing in October and November as water temps drop and fish begin their southward push. Schoolie bass and bluefish move through in spring as well. The back bay here is more open than the southern systems which means plugging the edges with small swimmers and paddle tails covers water efficiently. Fluke are present from May through July on the sandy bottom sections of the channel.
