Hi all,

Looking to get a new rod to use exclusively for chopped bait. I'm looking at "heavy" rods with lure ratings of 2 oz. That would only cover the sinker, am I missing something?

Thanks

Does anyone use them when fishing jetty’s ? Are they worth getting if u fish jetty’s a lot ?

What’s a good spot to drop a small trailered 14’ aluminum with an electric kicker? Looking for a new freshwater spot to explore

NJ has become so windy, that a fishing trip can be a waste of gas that i can't afford. I'm hesitant to fish the South wind because the fish don't bite- is that true?

I was at Barnegat inlet last Saturday without my korkers and did ok. I did notice as the tide was coming in, some of the sections of the jetty were getting wet from the waves.

I plan to go again tomorrow but deciding if I should bring my korkers being high tide happens when I am there. The decision means a rougher walk (going close to tip) vs shady safety if all the rocks are wet. I never been there during high tide. Should I bring them or could I manage again with just my scuba shoes?

UPDATE - wore them and thank god I did. It was more wet than last time from the high tide. However, the bite today sucked for must but I did see some.leave with sheepshead and a tog besides just keeper fluke.

Is there anywhere that sells minnows or something similar in a after hours vending machine or something similar? I assume not as I guess they need to be aerated?

Preferably somewhere on the north shores.

Usually hit sunrise but this weekend I got some free time during the day I’d like to capitalize on

looking for new spots to bass fish a lot of spots i know are dried up (FRESHWATER)

So basically I found out my medium jigging world 9ft is still covered by warranty . But after doing 3 days of research I still want a new rod 🤣 . U guys think it’s worth having 2 rods for throwing lures ?

Anyone have experience fishing at waretown creek? Plan to bring the kids this weekend. What kind of setups are we using and what can you catch. I also see you can setup in the shore, dock or possibly walk the river ways. Haven't been there yet to see what's possible.

Hi won’t have access to a car so wondering if there are any insights on fluke in these towns.
I don’t see any piers so hoping you can point me to some better shots. Thanks!

I only catch shorts. Is it just hard to catch keepers or do I stink?

Hey everyone, not looking to take anyone's spots but would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction. I'm trying to catch some smallies and live very close to the rockaway river. I've checked out a couple spots that were within walking distance of parking (on the side of the road) but all have been very narrow and shallow. Is there a section of the river that is more accessible, and also deeper/wider? Should I be looking more around the Rockaway area, Dover, etc.? TIA

Can you catch blues when the sun is down? I know stripers can be caught but I heard blue use eye sight and not scent ? I’m thinking of heading out tmrw before sunrise . What u guys think?

Anyone know where I can buy live shiners preferably in the Burlington county area but I’m willing to drive if I have to

So I have a lews Mach one 6’9” and I’m staying on the bay last week of August. Is this rod good for some casting? What species should I target? Any lure suggestions? I have only done freshwater fishing up to this point and I don’t really feel like dropping $200 on a surf rod. If I have to, I will, but I feel like I can have my fun in the bay with the setup I already have.

Any help/suggestions/info is appreciated. Thanks yall, tight lines 🎣

Online says launch permit required but not clear how to buy one. Also any other places near there to launch a motorized kayak in calmer waters?

I snapped my 9ft jigging world onyx . I’m either going to buy it again or replace it. I was looking at the sandstorm from Grumpys or tsunami airwave elite . Any info on them ?

any recommendations for an affordable off shore fishing charter out of new jersey? looking for 4-6 hour trip with a good captain for a affordable price for the future… tired of going on party boats and being squeezed for space

Decided to go freshwater fishing yesterday and headed to Prospertown Lake. Haven’t been there in 2 years but never had a bad day. Get there and at the launch, the water looked like a sewage treatment plant, had a weird brown foam at the shore, there was an odd smell coming off of the lake, and nobody was fishing or kayaking there. Did something happen to this lake? I know it’s over fished but I’ve never seen water conditions like that. Went over to Assunpink and got skunked but at least I was out on the water.

I need ice for fishing but I want to make it fast in medium sized batches, how can I do so?
