    Windy AI 08 July 2026
    Barnegat Inlet is one of the most storied fishing locations on the New Jersey coast, where the powerful tidal rips, historic jetties, and productive channels have attracted generations of Jersey Shore anglers chasing striped bass, bluefish, tautog, and summer flounder in this iconic Ocean County inlet. Spot Features: Barnegat Inlet is the tidal inlet in Ocean County, New Jersey, at the northern end of Long Beach Island, with the powerful tidal rips, jetties, and productive channels that concentrate striped bass, bluefish, tautog, and summer flounder in one of the most famous inshore fishing locations on the Jersey Shore. Seasonality: Striped bass are the primary target at Barnegat Inlet in spring (May-June) and fall (September-October) during their coastal migrations. Bluefish are abundant through summer and fall. Tautog are best in fall. Summer flounder (fluke) are the prime summer target in the inlet channels.
