Some of the best parts of a day on the water don’t fit into a short video. There’s the planning before the trip, the little details you want to remember, and the conversation that continues long after the gear is put away.

Fishing with Pete now has a place for those stories. This website brings the Instagram, YouTube, and Facebook pages together with room for longer articles and local fishing reports.

Our home waters

Our coverage focuses on Island Beach State Park and Barnegat Bay. Use the area filters to find fishing reports and stories from these home waters.

What you’ll find here

Reports will feature dated, sourced local updates. Articles will make room for fishing notes, trip planning, and the beach and boating life around it. YouTube Shorts from the Fishing with Pete channel are here too, linking directly to the original clips.

For now, explore the videos and follow along on your favorite platform. There’s plenty more water to cover.
