Launching spot for crabbing--Red Bank

[The Hunter]

Any idea where I can launch my own small boat to crab the Navesink in Red Bank? Used Chris' River Plaza Marina before but not sure if still there or if better option exists.

Thanks for any help.

Navesink is largely yearly fee ramps in Rumson or Fair Haven.

Red Bank is the only one. The Shrewsbury does however have a few freebies.

Thanks Capt. I actually tried to PM you yesterday but your mailbox is full!!! So do you know if Chris' is still open for launching?? I think it used to be $25 to launch. Had a question for you about boating class for my son as well. We live in Warren County NJ.

It is now run by Monmouth County Parks but still available to be launched from. I would call them just to double check on times and fees

Thanks. Waiting for a call back, but found online it is $50 for season launching pass. Just hoping I can launch before 7am when the park opens!!!!

swimming river park, ill be damned would you look at that. that must have cost a ton of $$. while we're talking about that area, do you know if they ever opened Stevenson park and access for kayaks to shadow lake?
