Hey guys i need some PPC fishing help. I will be in PPB from Sunday-Wednesday. any help in catching something in or near the canal (from shore) at this time of the season would be great. where to go, what bait, how to rig etc. I will be with my son and his friend so it would be great to get them some fish.
I was also thinking of bringing my 14 footer with 9.9 and launching on the south end of the canal. maybe there is some fluke or some schooly bass in the area?
maybe troll around with some plugs for small blues?

thx tony

I know Fluking is good on the North/Manasquan River side and your 14 footer with a 9.9 will be just fine for the river. You do however need to stay out of the canal with a boat of that size. It's way too dangerous.

As far as Fluke, drifting standard fluke rigs along the channel edges with bait will probably be your best bet. Lots of boat traffic in the area this time of year so be on your guard if you are fishing near the channels.

Sorry Anthony I'm not familiar with the launch ramps in the area.

It may work as they share some services now. I would Defiantly stay out of the canal. I' ve lived here my whole life and lived on the canal for 7 yrs. I've seen my share of swamped boats in the canal, yours is to small. River options are better. Someone said Manasquan river club , I've put in there great ramp. There is also Lightning Jacks all the way up the river in Bricktown another good ramp. McCarthy's in Brielle has a ramp but nowhere to park. I think there is a ramp in Manasquan at Glimmer Glass not sure if it s public. That's pretty much it for the river. Your boat will be good for the river. Catchem up!
