The black sea bass is a bottom fish that many in New Jersey like to fish for. As far as why, there are many of them around, and can put up a good fight. Black sea bass are usually located near the coastline, reefs, piers, wrecks, and so on. What is great about New Jersey is that it has many artificial reefs for one to fish at.

In order to get to a good artificial reef it is important to realize that you are probably not the only one considering going out there. With that said, the best time to go reef fishing for black sea bass is during the week, as opposed to the weekend where there are many charters and private boats competing amongst one another. Also, getting to the particular reef first provides the best opportunity to catch large black sea bass, so in order to get there first you must consider heading out on the waters much earlier than you normally would.
