The Ole horshoe is slowly getting washed away so much so that most charts are not even showing it anymore. If you look where false egg Island is on the Jersey side, travel South for approx 8 miles. You'll see a pointed finger like contour, travel down it on the western side about I guess a mile? look for a circle like bump sticking out of that finger ;) That's our secret spot!

Between bug light and 14 foot bank.

Map http://www.saltwaterdirections.com makes a good 'spots' map of the upper bay that will show all the spots mentioned on the site and include GPS values, wreck coordinates, baits to use and some marinas/ramps. Map#: DE0103

The Bunker have moved into the bay and The bigger fish will be feeding on fresh bunker,match the hatch. The Shad are in 24'sw and along the edge of the bare hole and horseshoe and there will be some fish there but with the NE wind prevailing the water in the lee will be clean and warmer and thats where the bait will be as well as those looking for a meal,don't forget BloodWorms as well as fresh bunker and herring. Good Fishing! ;) Mike

A great chart for anyone new to the bay is Home Port Charts...Delaware Bay #1. It not only gives you the name of local fishing spots but aslo GPS numbers. If you are in the area stop and see the chart...ken
