TautogCrankbaits, Craws, and Finesse Baits work well at Barnegat Bay.
A Bubblegum Fin-S Fish and a pink Zoom grub are great baits to catch a trophy-sized weakfish.
Barnegat Inlet holds a lot of trophy-sized striped bass. Live baitfish, Daiwa’s SP Minnow or Storm Wildeye Swim Shad lure fished close to the rocks might give you a good catch.
Buckatil jigs used in late May and early June are great for summer flounder.
Surface lures, such as a 4-inch Smack-it popper or a Yo-Zuri Crystal Minnow are great for bluefish.
