Fishing Grassy Sound

A shallow, grassy back bay channel near Wildwood Crest that is one of the first spots to come alive in spring as warming water pushes into the back bay system ahead of the ocean. Flounder fishing here in late April and early May can be exceptional before ocean temps draw fish out to the inlets. Schoolie stripers work the sod bank edges on the incoming tide through May and June. The channel is narrow and the fishing is tighter than the open bay spots, which means lighter tackle and finesse presentations work better here. Bloodworms and Berkley Gulp on a fluke rig are the standard bottom approach.
