Re: First boat - returning to NJ.com
Hey Matt,
Congratulations on your new boat. My first boat was a 14 footer as well. They are great boats to learn on. Couple tips I figured out was to make sure you know what you boat will do and how it will handle waves. I wouldnt reccomend going to far out till you have a feel for the boat. Try to back up as little as possible. Smaller boats tend to take water over the stern when backing up, and they fill up quick. Starting around the end of April you will start seeing bluefish in the bay If you put the boat in Keyport and drive past the sailboats you fill find all the bluefish you want. There close enough to the shore where you can fish comfortablly and you will catch a ton. Also if you put in the raritan river either South River or Saryville and head towards the bay on the right hand side you will see an old wooded drydock with a small boat you can get in there and it holds a ton of stripers in the spring.
Good Luck
Doug
