Re: Moving from raritan bay to forked river
Had my boat in Toms River and ran Barnegat Bay/Inlet for several years. The bay has windows of fishing when it can be productive, Stripers on the shoals, Fluke at mouth of oyster creek or Meyers Hole. Some fishing between BI and BB markers. Use to be a couple good deep holes at high tide that would hold fish. The inlet? The channel to the inlet and around the lighthouse is narrow and zig zags, watch your markers closely or you will be in shallow water in no time. The inlet, That was interesting to navigate, give yourself plenty of space. Reminds me of the shotgun start at Manasquan, just almost all the time....lol. You have some spots outside , The Tires, wrecks , etc that are good for fishing, Stripers along IBSP when they are running. Quite a few boats run from Forked River area to canyon. Chicken canyon could be a shot for you depending on your boat. I believe a couple fishing clubs from there still have tournaments each summer as well. Good luck on your move and new grounds to explore.....Forgot to mention the crabbing f you're into it and use boat for family time. Head towards the 37 Bay bridge, usually some good ones to be found near the bridge and pole island area/
