Fishing near Bayonne, NJ
Set on a peninsula in Hudson County, Bayonne is among the most water-surrounded cities in New Jersey, bordered by Newark Bay to the west, the Kill Van Kull tidal strait to the south, and Upper New York Bay and the Hudson waterfront to the east. That mix of sheltered bays, tidal straits, and deep shipping channels feeds productive grounds for resident and migratory fish, with striped bass the headline draw for urban anglers.
