There was a NJ Fishing member who listed that he had wreck numbers for sale. It seemed like it was part of his posts. If this is you or you know who it is, please reply as I'm looking for the closest spot to get Ling from Raritan Bay.

More than likely someone was pulling your leg. If not you can buy a chart, which has all kinds of wrecks/numbers.

Why "PAY" for them and(probably get screwed)when you could buy a chart, search around and earn them like everyone else?? That's half the fun of owning a boat and becoming a Fishermen....not a user.

Exactly. If I only knew the countless hours myself and wreck fishing buddies have spent doing homework... sorting through old hang logs, loran books, reading dive books, calibrating loran #'s from a single loran to a single gps, gathering information from various sources and trying to piece "2 and 2" together by reading between the lines to gather information about secret wrecks... and then the hours and fuel spent searching for many of these pieces, often in vain. But the excitment of finding a new piece off the beating path is perhaps an ever better feeling than the fishing itself!

I have a list of a couple hundred numbers I'll give you for free. I remember when I first started out fishing how NO ONE offered me any help. I asked many captains for a couple numbers and was always turned down. It was a lousy feeling not to be embraced by fellow sportsmen. Not one person ever gave me any spots. Even, supposed, close friends. Everyone says they have secret spots. BS. If they have the numbers, so do others. PM me. I'll be more than happy to help.

Thank you. I knew I've seen it many times. To those that offered help, thanks a lot. To those who offered criticism, I have plenty of my own spots and numbers found like everyone else but all are within a few miles of shore, but running a 23' boat out of Keyport, I was looking to "buy" a good lead or two.

Every day, how many guys flock to your boat when you stop to fish? It's almost a ritual. DO IT THE EASY WAY- cheat. lol
New jacks have done that for years, just not openly admitted it. They don't know how to anchor or even use a Fish Finder properly to find structure or holding fish.. Some can't even read charts with known structures shown on it.

Suggestion... Try to trade your honey holes for another's honey hole.
Many , like myself, do that all the time. But its a Quid Pro Quo. You give you get. And it's private between the two captains.

You could always do what I call "the circle jerk". Its when you are anchored up catching fish and you a see a boat do a large, perfect circle around your position. He then looks at his gps trail and moves the cursor to the center of the circle and hits enter, he now has your numbers. THE CIRCLE JERK!

All good and funny suggestions.I have always fished for Ling on party boats and finally have my own boat with enough fuel to go pretty far. I believe they are too far from my port to just wing it and be wrong. I will try the guy I was looking for.
