Raritan Bay spots

[DavidFWF]

Planning on heading out for the first time this year in the morning, just want to see what areas have been productive recently. I've heard Cliffwood beach but I've never fished there so I'm not sure where exactly to go. Plan on being where I choose around 7:30am.

I've been starting my season in raritan bay for many years.

My advice is don't be afraid to explore. The fish are migrating into the bay, you can get lucky in many places. For the most part the entire jersey side has a similar shallow profile. Maybe I'll see you there.

I may be in the Belford area.....

Oh,

And most people catch very little when the water is this cold...

But everyone is tired of waiting
