Shark River area marina questions

Thank you Capt Frank, good points on the fishing, I'm leaning towards the high end of the 32'-36' range exactly for that reason, all the fishing will need to be in the ocean

I felt the same way. Problem is that Shark River "SR" inlet gives you a very rude awaking.

Easterly rollers at SR jetties on the outgoing tide is un f*cking believable. Huge waves with no backs.

Shark River has got an incredibly large 5+ foot tide drop. SO a very strong current. Incoming is nothing to care for. But the outgoing tide and an easterly blow can be hairy big stuff.

In Raritan Bay/Sandy Hook the worst spot is ironically the Shrewsbury #5 can. And the Sandy Hook#11 as you round the Atlantic and go southerly.

In SR, NO GO days in SR can be saved in SH.

I'm in Shark River marina in back of bay. Very happy to be there for what I use it for/23 Parker CC. Keeps me out of the wake of boats and even in storms, fairly protected with the new docks installed. Seaport is a great marina also (as told by friends who do have boats there). Just had motor replaced by them. I believe its $125per ft for the racks. Shark River Inlet has never been too bad unless you're fighting a storm surge. Fishing in river is surprisingly getting better in the channels and near the front docks/ramp. You also have several options here( I also use to run in Barnegat Bay). You can fish north to Red Church and up to Shrewsbury/Rattle snake area or head south and hit Sea Girt Reef and Axle areas.....all about choices and options
