This is the best fishing site in NJ! The best fishermen on the east coast belong to this site and if they don't belong they're NJF lurkers, LOL!

Friends, I've made a ton! Memories, we've made alot and I've only been a member for 9 years! WOW!!! I think this sites made me a happier person because of the awesome people and personalities I've met through the years!

MEET-N-GREETS, Ice party's, NJF holiday party's, Fluke fishing fundraisers, PUOSU, river clean ups, you name it! So much goes on here that is simply for the good of humanity! I feel this site brings people together! I'm happy I found this site 9 years ago while trolling on the internet! Thank you Cap'n Gerry and AndyS and all involved! Cheers to 20 more years! Cheers to the NJF brotherhood!

It's SO bittersweet, Looking back at the old message board and seeing Life's a Beach and Ms Gold, it saddens me so much. The brutal fights in the winter with LAB just flat out roasting people, it's a wonder anyone stuck around !
Funny thing was, I think Mike's antics projected a kind of unsettled peacefulness among the crazy world in which we live. It was for the love of the sport that drew us to the new website.
You can visit the old message board on the "way back" internet time machine.

Moving through the years I was reading so many Raritan bay reports and very few offshore canyon reports. I thought wouldn't it be nice if I could arrange a few offshore trips and get some of these guys off the bay and show them the waters of the canyons. It happened, and I think I ruined a few people along the way. The look on a persons face when they latch into that 1st yellowfin is priceless !!!

The website got me in touch with a gents I fished with back on the old Gambler, how cool was that !!

Amazingly enough Gerry reached out to me to be the moderator for the freshwater section, honored and never looked back.

I always say, posts bring more posts. If it hadn't been for NJF I would have never hooked up with what has become a very dear friend of mine.
I read a post from someone fishing the North Branch near Rt. 206. I thought, hey that is right around the corner from me. A few PM's later and we have been great friends every since. I can't begin to tell you how many great people I have met (and became friends with) along the way thanks to this website. It gets tough making new friends as you get older but we can easily find common ground here.
Don't know how many years I have been hanging around here, probably since the day my wife said "hey, you can read fishing reports on the internet"

Thanx again to Gerry and everyone who made this possible. Congratulations and cheers hope you have another 20 more years.
